It depends on where you are located, but here are the best sites to locate an eating disorders therapist. You can also locate nutritionists who specialize in eating disorders, groups for eating disorders, as well as inpatient treatment here:

the best idea would be to see a dietician or a nutrionalist. She/he will help greatly in getting your weight right. But first a physcologist is necessary. You need to want to change before anyone can help you. A physcologist will treat your mental issues that are making you anorexic, and the dietician will treat the physical ones

I was fortunate Jason...to get over it by myself....I was very very lucky and my prayers helped...your body is your temple...take good care of it...don't kill it....you will probably have to go to a specialist for this but if you are suffering or know someone who is...don't delay,...the long term damage on your internal organs will be minimal if you get help now. email me if you want. xo good luck and God bless...you will be in my prayers...and to the young lady who told you prayers don't work? I am living testament that they DO.

SEARCH ONLINE FOR A PSYCHOLOGY ASSOCIATES NEAREST YOU. LOOK FOR A COUNSELOR THAT SPECIALIZES IN EATING DISORDERS.
LOOK TO A PSYCHOLOGIST, RATHER THAN A PSYCHAITRIST. MEDICATION WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM.
YOU CAN ALSO LOOK TO THE APA (AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGY ASSOCIATION) FOR REFERRALS AND REPUTATION INFO. THIS IS IMPORTANT WHEN CHOOSING A THERAPIST.
GOOGLE "DR. JOSEPH S. MACIEJKO, PHD". HE IS THE BEST FOR EATING DISORDERS. HE IS IN DAVENPORT, IOWA WITH GENESIS HEALTH CENTERS (PSYCHOLOGY ASSOCIATES).

Prayers don't work...start with your regular doctor and see where they recommend you go from there if they cannot help you.

I'd start with your regular MD, and see who they recommend.

Why would you want to get help for it, being anorexic is sweet.
