Eating Disorders

Early identification in primary health is vital to enable access to the appropriate mental health or medical service. This is not always easy as many people suffering from eating disorders prefer to keep symptoms hidden and do not always welcome intervention. However, eating disorders are serious medical and psychiatric conditions that in some cases can be terminal.
