There is still massive misinformation out there about and we aim to help untangle the confusion. Eating Disorders are brain based illnesses with genetic links. They are not choices, vanity, or failure of willpower. Eating disorders are serious brain-based illnesses that require early, evidence-based care.
Correct treatment is critical - early is best, but any time is also key!
If you or a family member is exhibiting signs of an eating disorder please don’t wait! Seek out professional help. See resources at www.worldeatingdisordersactionday.org.
