Eating Disorders Awareness Week reminds us that, while conversations about eating disorders can be difficult, they are essential. Eating disorders are serious, life-threatening mental illnesses that impact people of all ages, genders, races, and body sizes.
According to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), 30 million Americans will struggle with an eating disorder in their lifetime. Unfortunately, these illnesses are on the rise, making awareness and early intervention more important than ever.
