My child being diagnosed with anorexia nervosa

Posted By Susieq81

"My child being diagnosed with anorexia nervosa"

About: NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde / Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS)

(as a parent/guardian),

Our child was admitted to hospital after hiding his Eating Disorder from us for over 4 months. They finally admitted that he needed our help. When we reached out to CAMHS, they saw us as soon as they could. They were  admitted to hospital as they had a dangerously low heart rate on top of battling an ED.
