I'm wanting to work with people who have eating disorders. I'm 19 and i'll be going to University next September, so I have time to pick what I should be studying. I just wanted to know if people knew of jobs involving eating disorders.

The two main ones that I thought of that I am interested in are:
Dietician/nutritionist
Psychologist.

Are there any others that you know of that involve this type of work? Like I said I will be going to Uni next year so I am willing to study.....

And if you have any information from personal experience about working within jobs like this, or if you have recieved treatment for an eating disorder, then tell me what type of people you saw etc

Thanks!

Eating disorder is a compulsion to eat or to avoid eating, that negatively affects the person. Anorexia and bulimia disorders being most common eating disorders. Anorexic youngsters are the main victims off this disorder.

well this disorder affects the people from the core......either he can take excessive food or he cann't even take a bite of food.......so both of the situations are awful for a person......
