Recognizing ED Awareness Week
Eating Disorders Awareness Week (February 24th - March 2nd) is a time to learn more about eating disorders and recognize the impact eating disorders can have. It's also an opportunity to provide hope and visibility to those impacted.
Eating disorders vary greatly and are defined by abnormal eating behaviors that negatively impact a person's health - whether mentally or physically. Eating disorders affect up to 5% of the population according to the American Psychiatric Association and often co-occur with other psychiatric disorders. While it can affect anybody, women between the ages of 12 and 35 are most likely to report experiencing an eating disorder.
If you or a loved one is impacted by an eating disorder, help is available. You can view treatment options through the National Eating Disorders Association website at: https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/find-treatment/
