The best help an anorexic can receive is unconditional love and empathy.
As is common among sufferers of some eating disorders, an anorectic may be very secretive about his or her disorder. Being confronted by another about it for the first time may result in feelings of panic and distress, so an informed and considerate caution is recommended. However, it is important to remember that anorexia is a dangerous disorder that signifies chronic suffering in an individual, so it is important not to delay in seeking help for a person whom you believe has anorexia or bulimia. Researching the condition and consulting your local eating-disorder support network are good beginnings.
In handling an anorexic dependent, it is dangerous to "just force" him or her to eat without support. Eating for most anorexics is not as easy as "just eating" may seem to non-eating-disordered people. While being firm is important, keep in mind that eating things which are not considered "safe" will most likely trigger fear and panic in the sufferer.
