"It was my comfort, it was my control".

Lara Rebecca has battled anorexia from the age of 15 and tells Steph how it took over her life. Psychologist Dr Omara Nassem is on hand to inform us what can be done to help.

Important inquiry raising issues around the need for early intervention; meeting people’s needs based on their presenting eating disorder symptoms rather than simply using BMI and better management of transitions between child and adult services.

We spoke to @BritishVogue about how to help a friend suffering from an eating disorder - what to say, do, and what not to say 👇

[James Downs @jamesldowns]

Around 2 million adults have an #eatingdisorder in the UK

Only 11,000 accessed care in 2019/20

That is 0.55%

This is unacceptable for any condition. What can we do? 🧵—>

Thoughtful, hopeful and supportive conversations here.

[James Downs @jamesldowns]

We have to keep hope.

Eating disorders are treatable
Eating disorders are preventable
Eating disorders deaths are preventable
Eating disorders are understandable

We need so much research and investment into #eatingdisorders it's unreal, but it IS possible x

[Academy for Eating Disorders @aedweb]

Fundamentally, we must remember that #EatingDisorders can happen to a person at any weight.

This is especially important when we consider the risks inherent in rapid weight loss in people in #largerbodies (mistakenly often praised as a positive change)
