Bulimia treatment in Thailand?

[Cabrinha]

Does anyone know of any bulimia treatment centres in Thailand? Thai or English language is ok.

Dedicated bulemia treatment centers no, but some hospitals have psychiatrists specializing in eating disorders.

Some of the various rehab centers also treat people with eating disorders but it is best to start with a physician at a hospital rather than with counseling as there are often physical problems resulting from the bulemia that need to be attended to,

Hi Sheryl,

Would you happen to know which hospitals in particular have such psychiatrists specializing in eating disorders? The person who I'm enquiring for, did go to a hospital before but found the doctor there not helpful when they only prescribed medication which was not helpful at all. Therefore they are no sceptical of going to a regular hospital again unless we know they have more specific help than she received before.

Many thanks

Cabrinha.

How physically stable is she?

If not in need of medical stabilization, counseling can be had at:

Otherwise, Manoram Hospital has the most extensive range of psychiatric care in Thailand. Unfortunately their website lisitng of doctor qualifications is not very helpful so would have to contact them directly to find out who specializes in this:

Sorry to learn of your friends problem.

This site may be helpful to you both as it presents an overview of Bulimia and includes further informative links.

Whilst not Thailand specific I hope that it is of assistance.
