I received an email about a website that sounds like a wonderful resource and I wanted to share what it's promoting this week. Take a look!*******

Recovering From An Eating Disorder
SOARING numbers of young girls are being treated in hospitals for eating disorders.

A new report shows cases of bulimia and anorexia among girls under 18 have leapt by 47 percent from 2004 to 2008. In the UK, there has also been a 25 per cent rise in girls UNDER NINE being treated for eating disorders.

Recovery from an eating disorder is no walk in the park, which is why so many people suffering from anorexia, bulimia, binge eating or compulsive overeating never make it to the other side of recovery.

Eating Disorders treatment specialist, Joanna Poppink, MFT, has been treating eating disorder patients for over 20 years. Her website, Triumphant Journey: A Cyberguide To Stop Overeating and Recover from Eating Disorders, is in the HealthyPlace.com Eating Disorders Community.

In three new articles, she discusses the journey people must take when they are serious about eating disorders treatment.

*****Bipolar Depression
When it comes to Bipolar Disorder, most people think of the manic episodes that are connected with the disorder; which is why the other flavor of Bipolar Disorder, Bipolar Depression, is often overlooked and misdiagnosed. Bipolar Depression also carries a higher risk of suicide.

We have a new section on Bipolar Depression in the HealthyPlace.com Bipolar Community. It's written by award-winning mental health author, Julie Fast, who wrote the "Gold Standard of Treating Bipolar Disorder" and the "Gold Standard of Treating Depression" for HealthyPlace.com.

In easy-to-understand language, Julie provides an authoritative look at Bipolar Depression:

Differences Between Unipolar Depression and Bipolar Depression
Why Bipolar Depression is Often Misdiagnosed
Role of Mania in Bipolar Depression
Treatment and Medications for Bipolar Depression
Treatment Differences Between Depression and Bipolar Depression

Getting a correct diagnosis for Bipolar Depression is not easy, but it's very important. A misdiagnosis can lead to incorrect treatment which can be hazardous to your mental health.
