EVERY PARENT'S worst nightmare
WOULD YOU KNOW IF YOUR CHILD WAS SHOWING THE FIRST SIGNS OF AN EATING DISORDER OR OTHER MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM?
OR MIGHT YOU PUT IT DOWN TO JUST BEING A TEEN?
In this raw, shocking episode, Andrea shares her's and her daughter's 3 year battle against
- what was eventually diagnosed as anorexia
- the useless support and treatment of the condition at all levels
- and the complete lack of support for parents
When a child falls victim to any mental illness the warning signs can be very subtle and yet, early diagnosis is key to full recovery as it can escalate out of control in a few days, "it's like a demon has taken over your child". But there is no support for parents who often had no idea, until it's taken hold and now there's a 9 month waiting list to be assessed - TOO LATE!
Andrea openly shares her insights and what needs to change
Luckily Amy is doing well today but still has scars from her treatment
