General Eating Disorder Links

EDR is the re-incarnation of my previous site, Lucy Serpell's Eating Disorders Resources (hosted at http://www.serpell.com/eat.html).
I'm planning to gradually move across and revise material from the old site, but in the short term I wanted to list a few useful links for eating disorder information.

SomethingFishy's site is one of the most useful eating disorder sites on the web. Particularly recommended are pages on information and support for family and friends of sufferers and physical problems caused by eating disorders. The site also features a chat room where you can talk with sufferers, carers and professionals.

In the UK, the Eating Disorders Association provides excellent advice and support via its website and helplines

After the Diet is a network of professionals dedicated to helping people overcome eating problems

The Eating Disorder Referral and Information Center is dedicated to the prevention and treatment of eating disorders

Psychotherapist Joanna Poppink has her own great website, Eating Disorder Recovery at Poppink.com. She has also written many excellent articles about eating disorders for Self Help and Psychology Magazine
