Eating Disorders

People handle stress, insecurity and other feelings in different ways. Sometimes it may seem the only way to control your life is to control your eating. If you or a friend has an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia, it is a good idea to talk to someone now.

You can talk to the people at NYC Well by calling 888-NYC-WELL (888-692-9355) free of charge 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All calls are confidential.
