How to see a doctor or therapist without parental permission?

Here goes,


my friend has had multiple eating problems, where she has not eaten for unhealthy periods of time. She now believes she is eating enough but often feels dizzy and experiences multiple other symptoms. She would like to see a doctor or a therapist, but as I explained above she does not want her parents to find out. It would also be preferable if it was free. Telling her parents is not an option. Any suggestions of how to see a doctor or a therapist (preferably a doctor). Also, she lives in Ontario, Canada.


Please and thank you!|||Unfortunately you need to be 18 to see a doctor without parental consent. Do you have any other trusted adults you could talk to teacher, coach, counsellor, religious leader? You're going to need the help of an adult with this. If you want your friend to get the help she needs she's going to have to tell at least one of her parents.





Good Luck
