I have a friend who's daughter is currently in The Priory undergoing treatment for Anorexia. However friend is very concerned that no progress is being made. Does anyone know anywhere/anyone else that specialises in the treatment of this hideous illness?

Rhodes Farm in north london is meant to be the best specialist place in the UK for eating disorders.

Thank you for that info. Sadly she is too old for Rodes Farm. Hopefully she is in the right place and will start to make improvements.

Progress can only be made if she wants it to be
