Not too sure what country you're in, but here in the UK it seems a lot of the time that when you have a check-up that as long as you're generally healthy and nod your head when they talk about weight they send you on your way. Unless you're dangerously thin I haven't seen many doctors assume an eating disorder is an issue, when a lot of the time it is. I've got a rather bad BMI and yet not one doctor's mentioned it, some even said it was a good thing despite being at around 16.5.

Anyways - it might not be your doctor per se, it might be just that they haven't considered the fact it could be a eating disorder. I'm sure if you specifically go in and ask them, explaining the issue, it will click with them and they'll make an effort to help you If they still don't then see someone else. I really do wish you the best though.
