How is Mandometer different to other eating disorder clinics?
The Mandometer Treatment is different from other clinic’s treatments as it dispels the popular theory that correlates eating disorders with mental illness. At Mandometer we focus on how your child eats rather than what they eat. We believe that depression and anxiety associated with eating disorders are the result of starvation – they aren’t the cause. The Mandometer Treatment teaches your child how to eat normally again and the Mandometer device is key to this. Once they re-learn how to eat normally, depression and anxiety disappear. As a result of this changed eating behaviour, your child’s thoughts and feelings in food related situations are also normalised.
