Added: (Wed Feb 24 2010)

Pressbox (Press Release) - Kildare Street Clinic (http://www.kildarestreetclinic.com/) is a renowned Eating disorder treatment centre based in Ireland who specializes in providing care for anorexia and bulimia nervosa in addition to compulsive overeating and binge eating disorder. The clinic not only provides support for suffering patients and their family or friends; but also takes initiative to educate local medical professionals, large organizational teams and other therapy groups on how to identify and deal with a patient suffering from this epidemic.

The psychotherapists of Kildare Street Clinic emphasizes on recovering from an eating disorder gradually with time. They are very patient during the entire treatment and recovery process knowing well that patients might feel very hesitant about the whole thing and might not open up and start communicating their problems. The psychologists of Kildare Street Clinic try to bring out to the patients both the positive and negative implications of having an eating disorder and how each of them affects the patient’s lifestyle.

Having vast experience in the area of eating disorders, the director of Kildare Street Clinic; constantly urges family members and friends of suffering patients to encourage the patient to consult a nutritionist or visit a clinic once the most important symptoms of eating disorders have been identified. If the disorder symptoms are ignored at initial stages, it may lead to serious physical repercussions like growth of cancer, kidney or liver failure, in addition to various other complications. For all these and more, Mr. John Crimmins have been awarded by the Irish Association of Counselling & Therapy for his pioneering work.

Kildare Street Clinic follows a three step approach to treat eating disorders. The initial goal of the treatment is to regularize the eating patterns of the patient and encourage them to avoid bingeing. The second stage is to work on a patient’s negative self image and self evaluation because of their increased weight. At this stage the psychotherapists of the clinic tries to establish the root causes of eating disorders amongst patients. In most of the cases they find that escapism, avoidance of painful emotions and stress release are the reasons which lead patients to bingeing. Finally, the last stage of healing process involves building back the self esteem of the patients along with dealing with other underlying issues that may have played a major role in the development of an eating disorder.
