Eating disorders are serious, potentially life-threatening problems that often manifest in adolescence. Many young men and women are unhappy with their bodies and the way they look, and may respond with severe dieting and other drastic measures to change their appearance. Eating disorders often occur together with other conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. Our multidisciplinary team, including a pediatrician, psychiatrist, licensed clinical social worker and nutritionist, is well qualified to address all of these complex issues with therapy, behavior modification and, when appropriate, medication. In addition, family participation in the therapeutic process is strongly recommended. Family members are an important source of support and encouragement. It is important to get help from qualified medical professionals who can guide and support both the patient and family during treatment and recovery. The sooner the eating disorder can be diagnosed and treated, the better the outcome.

Community Information

Downtown Bethesda is a thriving urban environment with hundreds of restaurants, shops and amenities. The city maintains three theaters for live performances, dozens of art galleries, and housing ranging from small and affordable to modern and luxurious. Bethesda is home to nearly 60,000 residents, whose median age is 42 years old. The average household income far exceeds the national average at around $100,000 per year.  Bethesda is an upscale enclave full of lively professionals. From families to singles, the city's residents are in interesting bunch, with a wide range of interests.

In the summer the city sponsors a children's street fair called Imagination Bethesda. Catering to those under twelve years of age, this day long event highlights cultural and educational activities, live entertainment, balloon artists, clowns and other unique performers.

And the free Summer Concert Series is fun for all ages. Unlike other cities, free concerts are presented several times each week, from May through August. There are evening concerts that draw families and young professionals alike. And afternoon concerts that are a refreshing break in the day for hard working folks downtown. This is a popular bag-lunch pastime, as busy professionals set up makeshift picnics to lunch outdoors while listening to live music.

Bethesda has a whole world of dining options. From American bistro to classic European dishes to homemade Asian delicacies, Bethesda has it all. This is one of the most epicurean districts in the D.C. Metro area, and diners flock here every night of the week. Following dinner, a plethora of nightlife awaits you. Late-night happy hour is a Bethesda tradition, and, rather than the rush to cocktails immediately following work, offers patrons to enjoy a leisurely drink at a more convenient time.
