The first step to take is talking to an adult about the eating disorder. Then, the adult can take action by finding a nutritionist or talking to the teen, so the teen can get over the disorder. It's not usually easy to get over an eating disorder, since it alters the mind's way of thinking. If the teen wants to get over the disorder him- or herself, he or she can try to forget about the food he or she is eating, and as long as the person is eating healthy food it might be possible to maintain his or her weight and get over the disorder. This strategy is not easy, so it's better to talk to an adult.
