Treatment Plan

So, as i said in the last post, this is the treatment plan of the plan i am on. Comments in { }

Initial treatment phase (first 6 weeks) {this is very optimistic, i am not out of this phase am i have been on the plan for well over 6 weeks}

1. Weight management and meal plan
2. Parents Psycho-education group
3. Engagement of young person.

And at week 7, a family review will be done and a plan for further treatment established.

Phase 2 - Continues treatment options (from week 8) will be tailored to the individual needs of the young person and may include the following:

1. Multi-family group treatment
2. Therapeutic group program
3. Individual therapies.

{Even though me and all my family feel i need some of this treatment (i.e. mental help) they will not let me have any because they say i will 'not be able to cognite it' or something because i am not heavy enough, my mum has repeatedly asked them but they refuse}

Review Meetings (3 monthly)

Held every 3 months with the consultant psychiatrist, the family and other team members. This is so the family and young person can review and look back on their progress. Then determine if further physical assessments are needed e.g. ovarian ultrasounds, bone density etc. The review will also decide if any psychological treatments should be taken up.

Discharge Planning

{the leaflet says} Most people recover, but some need continued treatment, which may be hospital or transfer to an Adult Mental Health Clinic {no way, when im an adult im going to make my own decisions and get out of this treatment, i think i can look after myself now}. They work jointly with these services.

I hope thats clear enough.
