The theme for this year's #WorldEDDay2021 is #Equity4EatingDisorders in funding, services and access.
Due to the lack of equity, people are being marginalized from treatment services.
Full recovery is possible, but without the right support system it remains a locked door.
We are delighted to be taking part in this panel discussion #CelebratingEveryBody organised by @TheUSI. @AM_Foran will be discussing findings from her PhD research. Looking forward to an important discussion on body-image and eating disorders.
As part of our Body Awareness Week, USI is hosting a #CelebratingEveryBody panel discussion tomorrow (March 23) at noon

Research suggest that services in Ireland are under-developed, under-resourced and ill-equipped to provide necessary care for people with eating disorders and their families #EDAW2021

Only a few more hours until our first event! We're looking forward to hosting an important discussion on the impact of COVID-19 on the eating disorder community, as well as creating a better understanding of how to support people with an eating disorder @PsychSocIreland #EDAW2021
On Day 2 of #EDAW2021 we are sharing some of the myths associated with eating disorders. In tackling these myths, we can help reduce eating disorder stigma. Stigma of eating disorders is one of the strongest barriers to treatment and recovery. irishpsychiatry.ie/blog/fact…
This years theme is Binge Eating Disorder (BED). BED is the most common eating disorder. However, a lack of awareness and understanding means that people often go without the support they need (1/3)
#EDAW2021
BED involves frequent, recurrent episodes of binge eating, where the person experiences a loss of control in relation to eating. These episodes are distressing for the person, and feelings of shame and guilt often follow (2/3)
