Anorexia Sufferer Joins Call for Better Support

The Opposition Party in Australia has developed a new policy on the treatment of anorexia and is urging the government to develop a center specifically for people with eating disorders.
"24-year-old Melissa Maher has had anorexia for nine years and says people with such disorders need specialized care that's not available in mental health wards."
She acknowledges that treatment centers do a good job of helping patients, but they could do more by offering specialized training for psychiatrists and/or doctors. Source: ABC News - Australia
