If your teenager shows signs of having an eating disorder, you may hope that, with the right mix of love, encouragement, and parental authority, he or she will just "snap out of it." If only it were that simple. To make matters worse, certain treatments assume you've somehow contributed to the problem and prohibit you from taking an active role. But as you watch your own teen struggle with a life-threatening illness, every fiber of your being tells you there must be some part you can play in restoring your child's health. In Help Your Teenager Beat an Eating Disorder, James Lock and Daniel Le Grange-two of the nation's top experts on the treatment of eating disorders-present compelling evidence that your involvement as a parent is critical. In fact, it may be the key to conquering your child's illness. Help Your Teenager Beat an Eating Disorder provides the tools you need to build a united family front that attacks the illness to ensure that your child develops nourishing eating habits and life-sustaining attitudes, day by day, meal by meal. Full recovery takes time, and relapse is common. But whether your child has already entered treatment or you're beginning to suspect there is a problem, the time to act is now. This book shows how.

Commonly question about Help Your Teenager Beat an Eating Disorder

Question :

Would you read this story? why/why not?

Clare, a teenager suffering from anorexia, falls in love with Francis, a boy also suffering from anorexia. After weeks of catching glimpses of eachother in therapy, but never talking to one another, Francis finally approaches Clare and strikes conversation. Their relationship flourishes, but becomes trickier over time. As Clare becomes sicker and sicker, she is admitted to the hospital. Francis tries to help her.

(Francis ends up beating the eating disorder because he sees all the damage its done to Clare. Clare ends up dying :( )
would you read it?
Answer :
That s a good basic plot, but add lots of twists and side stories. It s in a really simple form right now, and the ending isn t that good. It s all very depressing. Make a very clear statement and have a good theme. I m not saying sad plot = bad book, but a depressing story is hardly going to hold the attention of your readers. Don t make it too gloomy, but don t make it all sunshine and rainbows either.

Ok first of all,
1) would you read it?
2) do you like both of the character s names? what would you change them to?
3) Any suggestions on how to begin capturing the reader s attention?
Answer :
The majority of research into the incidence and prevalence of anorexia has been done in Western industrialized countries, so results are generally not applicable outside these areas. However, recent reviews of studies on the epidemiology of anorexia have suggested an incidence of between 8 and 13 cases per 100,000 persons per year and an average prevalence of 0.3% using strict criteria for diagnosis. These studies also confirm the view that the condition largely affects young adolescent females, with females between 15 and 19 years old making up 40% of all cases. Furthermore, the majority of cases are unlikely to be in contact with mental health services. As a whole, about 10% of people with anorexia are male and about 90% of people with anorexia are female.

1. I would not really like to read it unless it was written by a psychologist or a nurse and so on, to enlighten me about the subject but written in fiction form so as to make it more readable.

2. Nothing wrong with the names.

3. If you find an interesting name for your book, and if the book s cover is interesting ?? Or start with a boy being anorexic- how queer, how unthinkable ??

Good luck !
Question :

Am I just being a teenager, or is this something else?

For a start, I always worry about silly things, like planes flying overhead, or killers coming to my house. And plenty other things, and I don t know why I worry about such things, but it affects my daily life. I hate social situations, I have panic attacks, shake, my heart beat quickens, and I have short breath. I can t talk to anyone at school, a few friends maybe, but when someone talks to me I feel like i m going to die, I panic that much. Being called on in class is enough to cause a panic attack.
I am also paranoid about others motives, I believe every person will always back stab me, that they re going to hurt me, and this makes it extremely hard for me too trust others and make friendships. But I fear the friends I do have are going to leave me, it s happened before, I can t let it go.
I have depressive phases with these worries, in fact i m usually depressed. I feel terrible, tired, sad, down, worthless, and like I want to just Go to sleep and never wake up. I get really really angry about silly little things. I have a minor eating disorder also, because I don t get hungry, and therefore lose a lot of weight. The thing is, I don t even want to get over this, I just want to die...
The eating problems started with the bullying when I was younger, I have really low self esteem, and fat is all I can see in myself, oh, as well as ugly, terrible person, and yeah. I don t trust myself and I get angry when I can t do things right. It usually ends in self harming, but that also comes up because I believe I deserve the pain, and sometimes it s a coping method.

Something else I thought I d add, which led me to think about bipolar 2.

I ve had too episodes within half a year, when I wasn t depressed. I was high, really really high. I shout and yell, socialize waaaay too much, drink alcohol, have urges to spend a lot of money, I talk really fast and repeat the same thing over and over again, and stay up all night for weeks, not needing the sleep. Yeah, My parents said it s just hormones, so I ll go with it.
That has happened twice, as I said, and the phases lasted 2 weeks once, and the other time was a month.
I ve had weird times where I feel both.

Is this just growing up? Anxiety and growing up? Other disorders?

If it helps, a lot of other members in my family have; Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, and Depression. My mother has an eating disorder.

I m not looking for a diagnoses or anything, just advice.
Answer :
Some of the things you mentioned lean more toward two of the symptoms of Schizophrenia, which is delusions of persecution and paranoia. But that alone is not enough for a diagnosis. If you truly believe that others are out to get you, you should check with a doctor, but if you know that they are not but fear that they do, you probably just have anxiety. Everything else that you mention leans more toward Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Clinical Depression. My advice would be to see a doctor because it seems to me that you are having problems that are interfering with your daily functioning, and doing nothing about it can only make it worse unless you know how to to make yourself better on your own.
