Men with Eating Disorders Overlooked

[StrawberryP0cky]

This was posted earlier on the BBC news and I was really thrilled to see it. I knew that we as a society had a tendency to pretend that anyone who isn't a white teenage girl somehow can't suffer from an eating disorder (which is a mental problem, not a silly choice to look like a supermodel but went too far), but what amazed me about the article was how [i]doctors[/img] treated male patients with signs of an eating disorder after they came to the doctor for help. Maybe they saw a gener practitioner instead of a mental health professional, but that is no excuse.

What are your thoughts on it? I just don't know how a doctor can treat a patient that way and still practice medicine.
