Support for Students with Eating Disorders
At Student Health Service, we have six full time physicians and two dietitians, all with experience treating eating disorders. UCSD Psychological and Counseling Services has several psychologists who specialize in eating disorders. The physicians, dietitians and psychologists specialize in treating patients with eating disorders.
We are able to initially treat students with disordered eating. However, depending on the severity of the disorder, your son/daughter may need off-campus resources.
