Eating Disorders

I ignored my pain, but my body sounded the alarm.

Magalie
Past patient of the Douglas Institute

Magalie has long suffered from mental health problems. Her inner struggle went largely unnoticed until her body spoke out for her. Eating disorders are much more than just a matter of weight.

At the Douglas Institute, we believe that the fight against eating disorders requires unparalleled clinical care that is integrated with research. Each patient is assessed and cared for according to their needs through daytime therapeutic activities, outpatient consultations or hospitalization when necessary. Our treatment protocol has been internationally recognized for the quality of its research and cutting-edge clinical treatments.
