As Eating Disorder Awareness Week comes to a close, it’s important to challenge the misconceptions that surround these complex conditions. Eating disorders are not just about food or appearance—they are deeply rooted in mental health, trauma, and biology. These conditions can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or body type, and recovery is possible with the right support and treatment. By debunking these myths, we can foster a more compassionate, informed approach to understanding and supporting those who are struggling.
