Understanding Eating Disorders
Eating disorders affect people of all body sizes and shapes.
Eating disorders are serious but treatable physical and mental health conditions.
In the U.S., 28.8 million Americans will have an eating disorder in their lifetime. Anyone can develop an eating disorder, but they are more common in adolescents and young adults. Eating disorders affect people of all weights and body shapes— only 6 percent with an eating disorder are underweight.
It’s crucial to seek professional support for eating disorders as early as possible, as they can have a serious impact on health and wellbeing. Eating disorders have the second highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness behind opiate addiction.
