Anorexia Treatment Center

Offering comprehensive and compassionate anorexia treatment in Southern California

What Is Anorexia?

Anorexia is a serious, potentially life-threatening eating disorder characterized by self-starvation and massive weight loss. Anorexia nervosa symptoms can be severe and, in some cases, deadly. Without comprehensive therapy and treatment, between 5-20% of individuals with anorexia will die. With eating disorder treatment, this number decreases to 2-3%. Typically, anorexia appears in early to mid-adolescence, and it disproportionately affects women.
