Where can I go to receive a complete medical eating disorder assessment?
I have taken several tests online and have also talked to a therapist and I have several features of an eating disorder. I was wondering where I would go to receive a full evaluation by a professional. Any ideas? Has anyone received one? What should I expect?

I have received one.
But I wasn't looking for it.
I was in the hospital an extremely low heart rate. When they looked into causes, they found out I lost 75 pounds in 3 months. So they brought in a specialist to assess me, to see if i needed to go to a eating disorder intuition.
I was asked many questions about my past, and what lead up to this weight lost. They would ask you questions like "Do you want to lose more weight? Do you ever think about weight loss? How much do you think about food?" They will even ask you about relationships and such to check for depression. Of course, if you truly have an eating disorder and where put in a hospital, you are to smart to fall for this. So like many others, I lied my butt off and got my *** out of there. I was later diagnosed with anorexia. I've seen many therapists, and I personally found none of that to work. There is only one thing that works. Friends and having a life.
Sorry to rant. But if you are really worried (then you are either a smart ED or you don't have one) then tell your parents. They can contact your local hospital to ask if they have anyone on staff.
