We provide therapy to patients above 13 years of age; there is no upper age limit. Eating disorders are conditions of a disturbed relationship to food, body weight and body image to such an extent that this poses a threat to the patient's health or function.
The most common eating disorders are anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder (BED).
The treatment periods at the eating disorders unit are brief. Treatment is intensive and focuses especially on the initial stages of the patient's disorder. Our aim is to gain control of the eating disorder, to correct the nutritional state and to create a plan for future management of the condition of the patient.
