Being a parent is one of the most stressful jobs in the world.  But not as stressful or complicated as parenting someone with an eating disorder.  I treat people with eating disorders and it is by far the most complicated and challenging condition I treat.  When it's your own child, and you are living with the consequences of the eating disorder, it takes the stress to a whole new level.  It requires a completely different type of parenting.   In this video I am in conversation with Jenny Langley whose son had anorexia at the age of 12.  She is the author of books on the subject and a lead facilitator at The Maudsley Clinic.  She not only has personal experience on the subject but is hugely knowledgeable, highly respected and runs a carer's support group.  This is a must-see video for anyone who even suspects their child has an eating disorder, or for friends or family of carer's.  It is an eye-opener.   Do subscribe if you haven't already and forward to anyone you think may benefit: this may land at just the right time for someone.
