Advice on a friend with possible anorexia? -

Alright, I have a friend and I was wondering if anyone could give me any adviceI have a friend (he was diagnosed a while ago with manic depression but that escalated to having bipolar disorder), he has been through a lot since and because of this has started drastically cutting down on what he eats... and he is losing weight, quicklyWhen he does eat, he gets really upset and will just cry, if he feels he has eaten a lot he will sometimes (not often) make himself sickI would tell his parents... I have considered it... but they aren t... the most supportive parents ever... they hit him and stuff so I don t think going to them would help at this stageHe goes for regular hospital check ups that will weigh him but the next one isn t for a whileI was wondering if anyone out there would have any advice on how to help?Any suffers? what would you want a friend to do for you?Thanks

wow, well your a good friend for being so concerned, if his parents hit him, like beat him they should go to jail. I htink you keep a close eye on him and if your really concerned suggest a counselor or if he starts to freak out you should take him to the hospital. good luck
