Anorexic woman was left 'covered in faeces' after being sectioned after 'failings'

An anorexic charity worker who fears she will be killed by the condition says she was sectioned and left covered in faeces when she tried to get specialist care.

Amy Ellis, from Broughton, Flintshire, in Wales, said that despite decades of GP appointments and visits from mental health professionals she's never received appropriate help for the illness.

Instead, Amy, a charity worker and artist, says she's been told her symptoms are depression or a "way of life" and her protests to seek proper care lead her to an "undignified ordeal".
