I'm struggling with anorexia and I'm looking for help. I'm not sure which doctor I should see to get the best help for my condition. Does anyone have any advice on who I should go to for anorexia treatment? I'm looking for a doctor that specializes in eating disorders and has experience with anorexia. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
