    Hi. You won't be hospitalised unless your life is in danger. Please see your doctor and tell him what's going on. He can arrange outpatient treatment where you'll be treated by a psychiatrist, psychiatrist nurses, a dietitian and therapist. Eating disorder parients are only ever tube fed if they refuse to eat and their life is in danger.

    Source(s): I've been hospitalised in Australia and the UK.
