UAE’s First Specialized Unit Set To Help Those With Eating Disorders

Eating Disorders have become a growing concern in the Middle-Eastern community.

Though the exact cause is unknown, it is generally believed that a variety of factors including genetics, environmental, cultural and psychosocial aspects contribute to the development of this illness.

Committed to educating, preventing and assisting those in need, the American Center for Psychiatry and Neurology has launched the first specialized comprehensive evidence-based eating disorders outpatient service in the country. Available in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai branches, this is the first facility to offer an effective solution for patients living in the Middle East that wish to receive treatment without having to leave his/her environment.
