Troubled teen eating disorders: Anorexia Nervosa - excessive weight loss through self-starvation and sometimes through purging (vomiting, laxative usage), excessive exercising, refusal to maintain normal weight, intense fear of weight gain, obsessive preoccupation with weight and shape, loss of menstrual periods, distorted body image; Bulimia Nervosa - cycles of binge eating followed by purging, usually done in secret, weight ranges from below to above average (may be difficult to detect), feeling out of control of food intake, purging after bingeing via self-induced vomiting, laxatives, diet pills, diuretics, excessive exercise, or starvation, obsessive preoccupation with weight and shape.

Out-of-home care may become a necessary part of anorexia treatment (or bulimia treatment). The need for intervention through anorexia treatment should not be underestimated. Anorexia treatment can save the life and long-term health of a troubled teen.

Taking a potential eating disorder seriously is critical. Remember, proper intervention through anorexia treatment, bulimia treatment, etc., even if it requires out-of-home care reflects a choice and plan that could save your child's life. You should seek help to assist with proper intervention if you suspect your troubled teen is struggling with an eating disorder.

How are you going to know what your troubled teen needs?

What kind of boarding schools, military schools, bootcamps or bratcamps will build the life changing self-esteem and confidance that your troubled teens need in order to be successful in the long term?

A major problem facing troubled teens and adolescents today is low self-esteem or feelings of worthlessness.

Many, if not all, of your childs destructive behaviors could merely be symptoms of this one core problem.

Be sure that the intervention you choose builds esteem rather than tears it down further.

An abusive or restrictive setting will not build the confidance and self-esteem that your child needs.

If your child exits a program with the same low self image that she entered with then she will continue to engage in those behaviors that validate her feelings of herself.
