À propos de ce contenu audio
Trigger Warning (TW)Eating disorders are very serious, complex mental health conditions that involve disordered thoughts and behaviours around food, body image, and weight.
Treatment and Recovery

Medical Monitoring

Medication to address underlying conditions such as anxiety and depression.
Support group or peer recovery communities
If someone you care about is struggling:
- Listen without being judgemental
- Avoid commenting on their ppearance, food or weight- even compliments can be triggering.
- Encouraging professional help
- Be patient-it's not about "just eating more" or "snapping out of it"
- Let them know they are worthy and loved exactly as they are.
