Just some insight I had with my primary care MD when I was dealing with anorexia before I left Calif 16 years ago. He told me that the only thing he can care for in his patients is their physical health. He took care of the physical issues the anorexia was causing & said it was a psychitrists job to take care of the traumas & other issues causing it. I am thinking this is common practice for MD's these days. They are very specialized even when they are GP's.

Seriously, my best help did come from a wonderful T who also led the DBT group I was in for over 2 years. It was intense work on my part & 4 hours a week group along with individual T on top of that.....but it was the only thing that helped me after 13 years of suppisedly the highly educated T's I saw in Calif. Never figured I would find the help I needed in a small town in Ky
