My DD has been struggling with disordered eating, binging and purging for a number of years. She’s just 20 and finished first year in uni. She admitted when she came home that things had escalated in uni. She now has very low mood and is isolating herself in her room. She has great support from CBT therapist she was seeing before she went to uni and her GP. They have both suggested meds to try and lift her mood and treat her self loathing and the hopefully allow he to regulate her eating but she refuses meds as she’s afraid she’ll gain weight. Her GP has referred her to a psychiatrist specialising in EDs. She was assessed today and apparently has been offered inpatient treatment. I’m not sure what to think. Will it help her turn this around? I have heard that it can entrench behavior as inpatients can learn from each other but that seems unlikely. Anyone any experience of inpatient treatment?
