Eating Disorder Clinics

Harley Street Eating Disorder Clinics

Eating disorder clinics deal with a plethora of problems, including the diagnosis and treatment of over-eating and under-eating using counselling and medication. They deal with cases when attention is needed as the person is not getting enough nutrition or is engaging in excessive consumption as both can cause serious problems.

Nurses who are trained in eating disorders have studied the undergraduate degree that leads to registration with the Royal College of Nursing. They then specialise in the treatment and research of eating disorders. After six years of undergraduate study those who counsel trained in Psychiatry and are registered with the Royal College of Psychiatrists, specialising in eating disorders.

The majority of complaints that are seen by an eating disorder clinic are psychological in nature, including bulimia, anorexia and comfort eating,

Those who visit an eating disorder clinic are suffering from a disorder associated with eating and are not achieving a healthy diet through under-nourishment or excessive consumption for both physical and psychological reasons.
