In this very special blog, our Founder and Clinical Director, Dr Bryony Bamford, celebrates and reflects on the past 10 years, what she has learnt personally, how far the clinic has come and the many thousands of clients who we’ve supported over this time. Thank you for being part of our journey!

In this blog, we focus on the intricate link between OCD and Eating Disorders: Signs, Symptoms, and Treatment. Understanding how and why these disorders co-occur is crucial to achieving long lasting recovery and improved mental wellbeing.

Many blogs at this time of year, focus on the sufferer. The London Centre wants to shine a light on all the families, carers and friends who have a loved one suffering with an Eating Disorder, both in terms of supporting their loved one, but also in terms of their own coping.  The importance of caregiver and family support is gaining recognition within Eating Disorder services, however it remains an incredibly difficult road to navigate, and Christmas is by no means an exception

Eating disorders and major depressive disorder (MDD) are two mental health conditions that often co-occur and interact in complex ways. Understanding the signs, symptoms, and treatment options for these disorders is crucial for providing effective care to individuals who may be struggling. In this blog, we will explore the connection between eating disorders and MDD, their common signs and symptoms, and approaches to treatment.
