Wife is anorexic again?!
Question: Wife is anorexic again!?
my wife has had anorexia for as long as I can remember!. She got back up to a normal weight while she was pregnant, meaning the right weight for her while not pregnant!. Two weeks later, she's back to about 100 pounds!. She has been diagnosed with depression and is on meds, so could this just be from old eating habits that haven't changed!? What do I do for her!? How can I help!? She's already in therapy, and I will do anything to help her!. I love her too much to see her like this!. Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Make sure she understand what she is putting YOU through!.
For an anorexic it is very hard to get back to normal eating patterns, it's liek a mind block!. The chemistry in the brain is messed up due to lack of food, and most anorexics at such a low weight cannot think clearly, and they get into a depression!.
The easiest way to solve the problem is for her to want to get better!.
Force feeding as mentioned above, is unfortunately sometimes the only way out!. Once you get some nutrients into her, she will be able to think better!. That is quite extreme however and should only be considered by the doctor!. Your family doctor should be able to give you some advice, or you could contact someone specializing in eating disorders!.
Hope this helps at least a little!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Eating disorders aren't really about the food!.!. She must have other issues that need to be solved!. Make sure to talk to her a lot and maybe you can find out what's bothering her!. Make sure she knows you love her and pay her lots of attention!.!. many anorexics develop an eating disorder because they don't get enough attention and they crave it, but they usually are not aware that's why they are anorexic!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
you should tell her therapist about what is going on with her
I think it would help the therapist to know what your side of the story is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
