In the lead up to EDAW 2024, I am running a Q&A series with sufferers.
The goal is to help other people understand what it is like to have an eating disorder. If you have never had a loved one with an eating disorder or gone through it yourself, it is difficult to understand.
What am I hoping can be gained from understanding? I am hoping those that have the power to change eating disorder services will take action. I am hoping those who suffer from eating disorders know they are not alone. I am hoping people will gain a better awareness of eating disorders as a mental health issue, so compassion and empathy can be shown to those suffering. And I am hoping healthcare professionals can learn a bit more about the needs of people with eating disorders.
Here are their stories:
