@IAEM2023 @Pauline29412213 This is incorrect. Anorexia can occur at any weight.

People do recover from eating disorders at any age and despite the length of illness so why are some clinicians so quick to mark people as untreatable?

In times of stress, many people find that they don’t feel hungry. It’s a biological mechanism that happens when our bodies go into fight or flight.

And with love, you still need to eat.

Just as it’s hard for people with AN to feel heard, it was hard for me as a parent of a child with AN to get people to understand what a catastrophe we were living through.

That’s because, for most of her illness, my d wasn’t desperately thin. She looked almost okay. 1/2

‘Why is someone doing this to themselves?’ is the wrong question.

It should be: ‘Why is this person’s brain doing this to them?’

"One of the most frustrating things for me as a parent of a child who has had an eating disorder is our society’s (and let’s face it the entire world’s) obsession with the term and concept of what is 'healthy'."

In treatment, when things were really very bad, we were told to be careful pushing our daughter. ‘You don’t want to permanently damage your relationship.’

Sadly we took this advice. And for several more years our relationship was bad.

But it wasn’t broken. Now things are great!

‘You are still overweight’: how a doctor’s health advice triggered Sarah’s eating disorder https://t.co/obx4veKD04

@AgnesAyton @jamesldowns @TinaMcGuff @HopeVirgo @rcpsychEDFac I think you have to also look at the team delivering the treatment. For us FBT didn’t work but only (I believe) because the target weight was too low and my d was given back control too soon.

IMO it would have worked if we’d had a second chance and with my better understanding

Wanting to look slim like your favourite influencer is not the same as having an uncontrollable desire to starve yourself to the point of emaciation, even death.
These are not two sides of one coin. They are different things.

On @dove and that ad.
