This is defintely a tough one to handle, especially if the person is in denial that they have an ED or simply don't want help. My parents and I swear that one of my older sisters had an ED, but everytime we tried to address it, she would get angry, defensive and ignore us. There really wasn't anything we could do, and there's not a whole lot you can do if the person doesn't want help. I think the first thing that needs to happen is the person with the ED needs to realize it and accept the fact they need help.

My sister is a psychologist, and I created a website for her here:

She specializes in eating disorders (which oddly enough..she is the one that we suspected had one!), so if you want me to ask her anything just let me know. She has some links in the links section that may be useful.
