Why did patients apply to this trial?

Since leaving the hospital, I have struggled finding a treatment program that resonates with me.
PatientReceived 1 prior treatment
This is my child who is about to turn 18. She started starving herself about three years ago. For a time she was improving and eating and gained weight but over the summer she has relapsed. Her weigh is back down and she’s surviving on two-three packets kd oatmeal a day. Any attempts to intervene are met with hostilities and resistance.
PatientReceived no prior treatments
