Discover the truth concerning anorexia and eating disorders. Eating Disorders can be very destructive (see graphic anorexia photo), but we at The Center for Counseling & Health Resources, Inc. believe there is hope.

Anorexia is an increasing problem facing men, women and teens today. It is no longer a problem isolated to just younger women; it is an affliction that is growing in its reach and numbers to people of all ages and walks of life. Anorexia Nervosa is characterized by self-starvation and excessive weight loss. Symptoms include:
* Refusal to maintain body weight at or above a minimally normal weight for height, body type, age, and activity level
* Intense fear of weight gain or being “fat”
* Feeling “fat” or overweight despite dramatic weight loss
* Loss of menstrual periods
* Extreme concern with body weight and shape

Go to our Information section to see if you have any other eating disorder symptoms. If you think that you or somebody else has several anorexia symptoms, The Center, Inc. can help you. For twenty years, The Center has provided those with eating disorders "a place of hope." Our founder, Dr. Gregory L. Jantz, believes that treating the whole-person results in long-term recovery. At The Center, our emphasis is on Emotional Balance, Intellectual Discovery, Relational Healing Physical and Nutritional Wellness, and Spiritual Renewal.

Please read the following statement:
INDIVIDUALS CAN BECOME VERY SICK OR DIE FROM AN EATING DISORDER. IT IS A SERIOUS ILLNESS THAT MUST NOT BE IGNORED.
Please get help for yourself or encourage a friend to get some kind of help. If you read some of the posts on our Discussion Board you will see how devastating anorexia, bulimia, or compulsive overeating can be. This is why we developed our Specialized Intensive Treatment Program. Read Testimonials from our great number of clients.

We want you to know that there is Hope! Go to our main site, The Center for Counseling & Health Resources, Inc. and learn about various options to get help. We provide counseling, books, audiocassettes, and nutritional supplements. Because many who have an eating disorder experience depression, we have a unique website on depression. It is called Hope for Depression. Be sure and check it out!
