Three Minutes Could Save A Life

When we think of Eating Disorders, we usually picture an emaciated, frail, skeleton of a girl that is often depicted on talk shows.  The reality is people with eating disorders are not all skin and bones.  Normal weight and overweight people can be plagued by the unrelenting intrusive thoughts about food and weight. Normal weight and overweight people can be restricting their food, self inducing vomiting and engaging in excessive, obsessive exercise.  There are 30 million people suffering with eating disorders and 10 million are males.  February 21-27 is National Eating Disorder Awareness week.  To find out if you or someone you love may be struggling with an eating disorder, take the three minute confidential screening developed by The National Eating Disorders Association.  This is a wonderful resource for individuals and parents, however it is not meant to replace a clinical assessment completed by a specialized licensed professional.
