profile >>


Our clinic specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of eating disorders and weight problems.
This multidisciplinary program combines treatment of clinical and medical disorders with physical and nutritional rehabilitation, paired with psychotherapy.
Eating disorders can be defined as persistent eating related behaviours – which may or may not be directed specifically at weight control and are not secondary to any known medical or psychiatric condition – that significantly damage an individual’s physical health or psychological capacity. There are several different forms of eating disorder, including: Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Atypical Eating Disorders (Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder – OSFED). In the last category, BED (Binge Eating Disorder, frequently associated with Obesity) is the most common.
“Le Betulle” Medical Centre offers patients complete and strongly personalised treatment, guaranteeing qualified assistance and support around the clock.

Our facility’s peculiarity is its competence in the combined treatment of both clinical conditions (internistic, cardiac, gastroenterological, gynaecological, orthopaedic, neurological, dermatological, etc.) and any psychiatric aspects (Mood disorders, Anxiety disorders, Personality disorders, Substance addiction and abuse), which are often associated with eating disorders.
