Eating Disorder Treatment

Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions where food, exercise, body weight, and self-image can become unhealthy fixations. People of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds can be affected by eating disorders, and each person’s experience comes with its own unique set of challenges. At Ramsay Mental Health, we understand that overcoming an eating disorder is a personal journey, and we’re here to offer compassionate, evidence-based support every step of the way.

Why Choose Ramsay Mental Health for Eating Disorder Treatment?

Treating eating disorders requires a whole-person approach. Our specialised programs are designed to address the unique mental, emotional, and physical aspects of an individual’s eating disorder, and we offer personalised care to help them regain a healthy relationship with food and their body. With a dedicated team of clinicians and tailored therapies, we provide a comprehensive range of services to meet each person’s individual needs:

• Inpatient Treatment: Our inpatient eating disorder programs provide a safe, structured environment where patients can focus on intensive recovery. Our multidisciplinary team offers round-the-clock support, with psychiatric care, medical supervision, and therapeutic interventions to address the behaviours and nutritional imbalances that contribute to disordered eating.We also teach adaptive coping skills to manage distress. Inpatient care also includes nutritional counselling to help patients build a balanced relationship with food in a supportive setting.
• Day Programs: Designed for people who need continued support but without overnight stays, our day programs provide structured treatment plans to help maintain progress and prevent relapse. Day programs include group therapy and skill-building sessions that equip our patients with the tools to manage daily challenges, build resilience, and develop a positive self-image.
• Outpatient Treatment: Our outpatient consultations are delivered by accredited psychiatrists who can provide diagnosis, ongoing treatment, and connect patients with higher levels of care when appropriate.
• Specialised Psychological Services: Through Ramsay Psychology, we offer individual therapy sessions with psychologists who specialise in eating disorders. This outpatient service is ideal for people seeking one-on-one support to address specific concerns outside of a hospital setting.

Holistic Care for Co-Occurring Conditions

Eating disorders often coexist with other mental health challenges, such as depression, anxiety, or trauma-related disorders. Our holistic approach ensures that co-occurring conditions are addressed alongside the eating disorder, allowing for comprehensive and lasting recovery.
