When it comes to anorexia, achieving proper nourishment and medical stability marks just the initial phase in the journey toward recovery. It's a process of unraveling the underlying layers contributing to the eating disorder, which can be daunting. Frequently, caregivers express frustration, wondering why their loved one can't simply eat. However, it's essential to recognize that while food is indeed a crucial aspect of treatment, the complexity of anorexia extends far beyond mere sustenance. For parents and spouses witnessing their loved ones suffer and struggle to comprehend the illness, it's a deeply distressing experience.
