Eating disorders explained
Eating disorders are real, complex and devastating conditions that have serious consequences for health, productivity and relationships. They are not a fad, phase or lifestyle choice. People struggling with an eating disorder need to seek professional help. The earlier a person with an eating disorder seeks treatment, the greater the chances of physical and emotional recovery.
Do I have an eating disorder?
If you have experienced or recognise any of the symptoms listed above and are concerned that you may be suffering from an eating disorder, you have done the right thing visiting our site.
As explained, eating disorders are mental health issues which is nothing to feel ashamed or embarrassed about. Life can be hard and sometimes situations and experiences can get the better of us. People deal with stressful situations in different ways.

The Caring role in eating disorders
Caring for a loved one with an eating disorder can be a very stressful and overwhelming experience. It is extremely difficult to watch a loved one put their life and health at risk through self starvation, over exercise or disordered eating behaviours.
