Why Are Eating Disorders So Hard To Treat? - Anees Bahji

Dig into the psychiatric conditions of eating disorders, and explore the complex effects they have on the body and mind.

-

Globally, about 10% of people will experience an eating disorder during their lifetime. And yet, eating disorders are profoundly misunderstood. Misconceptions about everything from symptoms to treatment make it difficult to navigate an eating disorder or support someone you love as they do so. Anees Bahji shares what is— and isn’t— true about eating disorders.
