Specialist Help for Eating Problems

[EDGI UK @edgi_uk]

New findings from EDGI UK and @gladstudy! In our new study of~9,000 people, we found that over 50% of people experience symptoms of low weight or binge eating for the first time in adulthood, highlighting the urgent need for more adult clinical services.

A report published today has found that #eatingdisorders are just as likely to start in adulthood as in childhood, highlighting a clear need for much greater investment in eating disorder services for adults in every part of the UK. Read more: https://t.co/0VRw2XqNqh

It’s #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek & I’m so glad that this year’s theme is to raise awareness about one of the most common types of eating disorders — Binge Eating Disorder (BED).

"Being responsible for your child’s renourishment and symptom stabilization – even in part – can be emotionally excruciating at times. When the stakes are high – as they often are in these situations – emotions can run high as well."

Today marks the 1st day of #EDAW2021 so I thought as a #MHNurse and the student officer for @Dietitians_MHG I would share some infographs throughout the week!!

Do you live in Yorkshire and have been turned away from eating disorder services because of your BMI! If so please do get in touch if you would be happy to do a media piece!

[Cara Lisette @CaraLisette]

The first time I met my case manager in ED services I said I didn’t want to see him because he’s a CBT therapist and I don’t like CBT. He waited patiently for me and it turns out CBT is great if you have the right therapist and I am now training to be a CBT therapist.

Seeing lots out there about "coping with Christmas" with an #eatingdisorder. Join @sensinglorna @HopeVirgo & myself for our event next Monday on Zoom which takes a slightly different angle- "supporting recovery at Christmas". We can't wait 💚

If you got turned away from eating disorder services - can you tell me why they said you were? #AskTwitter #EatingDisorders #DumpTheScales

Recurrent hypoglycaemia in anorexia nervosa is a red flag sign of liver dysfunction. Requires intervention with enteral feeding to reverse hepatic autophagy.

Eating disorders and fitness trauma affect many women. This mum wants to make a difference https://t.co/OVjApfVSBC

My friend described weight restoration to me as moving into a new house. At first, it appears huge and uncomfortable, but you eventually adjust and realise that, actually, it's the perfect size. #YouAreEnough #bodypositivity #sizedoesntmatter #anorexiarecovery #weightrestoration

[Sharleen Woods MSc PgDip RD @Sharleen_RD]

Target weights in #eatingdisorder treatment adds fuel to weight stigmatisation. 'Healthy' looks different for each individual & other parameters are important to consider in #recovery

[Eating Disorder LA @EatDisorderLA]

Food is not meant to just be a matter-of-fact thing that we put into our mouths to fuel our bodies. We are allowed to gain pleasure from our experience with food. In fact, it is HEALTHY to engage in pleasurable experiences! https://t.co/MEEB4SDuBd

[James Downs @jamesldowns]

Ahead of BBC #Horizon on @bbctwo tonight, remember that this show is presenting an inaccurate/incomplete representation of metabolism, but a pretty accurate insight into unhelpful mindsets inherent in #eatingdisorders. This show is not ok, nor are the ideas it reinforces.

[Anxiety UK @AnxietyUK]
