We are so glad that you reached out.

Diabetes is an insidious disease. It requires the sufferer to be vigilant about testing their blood sugars, injecting insulin, and keeping track of their diet and exercise habits. It's no wonder people with diabetes find themselves fatigued and fed up with their illness. Healthcare professionals in the diabetes field have labeled “diabetes burnout” or “diabetes-specific distress” to describe the feelings of hopelessness, frustration, and anguish that are commonly experienced by those living with diabetes.

It’s officially summer and while this time of the year is great for many people it can be challenging for people with eating disorders. Lack of daily structure, summer clothing and the media’s emphasis on getting the perfect beach body can cause many people with eating disorders to become increasingly anxious and turn to eating disorder behaviors to cope with their feelings.  Walden Behavioral Care understands these challenges and encourages those struggling with an eating disorder to reach out to us for treatment if they need it.
