Have you ever had a friend who often refused to eat despite being extremely hungry? Or maybe a friend who loves eating in large amounts at one go? Or even a friend who has a weird habit of eating inedibles such as chalk or paper secretly?! How should you help them? What conditions are they facing? Why are they behaving in such disturbing ways?
Eating disorders are mental health conditions with an obsession with their food or body shape. 1 in 20 people may be affected with eating disorders at some point in their lives.

Eating disorders are also related to trauma or mental issues and require a great deal of support and understanding without being judgemental or accusatory.
What to AVOID during the conversation:
Encourage your loved ones to seek for professional help such as a physician or therapist. Offer to help them find a physician or therapist specialized in eating disorders or encourage them to attend an appointment. Friends and family members may not be the right person to counsel or provide aid as mental health professionals.

It was also reported from 78% of young adults that while waiting for treatment or delaying attending a specialist facility, their condition becomes significantly worse.
Treatments for eating disorders include:
Offering care and support to your friend with an eating disorder in the beginning stages can help make a difference for a better health and lifestyle. Don’t wait until the situation is so severe that your friend’s life is in danger.
