When the patients leave the clinic, they typically leave their eating disorder behind and usually don’t feel that they need to belong to any support group. However, all patients receiving treatment have the possibility to meet patients who have gone into remission and participate in the follow-up program.
The Association against Anorexia and Bulimia (FAB)
FAB was launched in 1995 by parents of patients at the Mandometer Clinic in Stockholm. FAB aims at supporting parents and relatives and helping them getting referral to the clinic, informing about the treatment and arranging lectures on eating disorders. The association has grown continuously and the collaboration with the Mandometer Clinics around the country is very smooth.
FAB organizes digital meetings
The meeting includes lectures on research and treatment. Patients who have been treated to remission share their experience with the participants in these meetings, and these occasions are attended with special interest. Many want to ask questions and the patients are more than willing to share their experience. All relatives are welcome; parents, partner, grandparents, brothers, sister and respective others.
To participate in the digital meetings, register your interest to info@fabinfo.se. Invitations will be sent out via e-mail.
FAB and the Mandometer Clinics work in cooperation with the National Society of Eating disorders:
