Eating Disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness

Eating Disorders are not lifestyle choices. They are serious illnesses that affect females & males of all ages & ethnicity. EDs have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness yet only 1 in 10 people receive treatment. In recognition of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week (Feb 20-26) I am re-posting to help spread support & compassion for those who continue to suffer & for those in all stages of recovery.
