How ill does an anorexic have to be before being admitted to hospital?

Actually, the person does not have to bee too sick. It depends on the individual and what the doctors think is best. Usually, those actually admitted to in-patient treatment centers are those who have lost significant weight, who have serious anorexia, and those who are in dangerous health. If a doctor fells like a person will get progressively worse if not in treatment, they will also probably be placed in a hospital. Most cases are treated out-pateint, though, with trips to hospitals and visits with doctors.
