When I was younger after been sent to many doctors who couldn't work out what my problem was or whether I really had one, one doctor told my parents I must be secretly eating things out of the fridge at night, I was sent to several psychologists. The last one I went to, who was the one I was with the longest was probably the best by a long way. Although I didn't necessarily appreciate it at the time it was a great place to talk about my life/problem so openly, it was with them that I've told things I've never anyone else. I eventually stopped going as I felt it was a waste of time, but looking back it wasn't and wished I hadn't. Although I moved a long way now I would take up a session in an instant, maybe I was just lucky to have someone who was understanding.
I think for people who hide their eating habits a lot, they can benefit from speaking to someone who is disconnected from their circumstances and can offer a fresh/different perspective.

If at first you can't eat or don't like a food, Try, try, try and keep trying again, as eventually you may.

Yes. My experience has been a lack of understanding or even acceptance of this condition amongst the medical profession.
Yes most doctors don't have a clue, the last doctor I spoke to just looked at me strangely and didn't say much. I think there is a lot of awareness that still needs to be raised.
I've had a 12 year periodic relationship with a clinical psycologist - he's been crap - but he tries hard! I'm going to see him again soon for the first time in 2 years and this time I'm going to teach him a thing or two about how to make progress -hopefully he'll be able to pass on my experiences and (small) success to some other professionals.
