Bulimia Nervosa: Other Places To Get Help

The Anorexia Nervosa and Related Eating Disorders (ANRED) organization has joined with another organization called Eating Disorders Awareness and Prevention (EDAP). It maintains a well-organized, comprehensive Web site that is easy to use and responds to e-mail generated from the site.

The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) is a large nonprofit organization in the United States dedicated to the prevention of eating disorders. NEDA helps educate people with eating disorders and their families about their conditions and also provides information for health professionals. The organization's Web site will help you locate treatment referrals for anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and issues surrounding body image and weight.

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) provides information to help people better understand mental health, mental disorders, and behavioral problems. NIMH does not provide referrals to mental health professionals or treatment for mental health problems.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) of the U.S. National Mental Health Information Center provides information about mental health through a toll-free telephone number, a Web site, and more than 600 publications. The National Mental Health Information Center was developed for people who use mental health services and for their families, the general public, policy makers, health professionals, and the media. Staff members respond to questions from the public and professionals. The staff directs callers to federal, state, and local organizations. The Information Center also has information on federal grants, conferences, and other events.
