Eating disorders get 1% of investment in mental health research, OCD gets 0.6%. Both devastating illnesses which are overlooked even in a field (mental health) which itself is overlooked.
About £9 spent per person with mental illness vs about £200 per person with cancer.

This week is National #MenHealthWeek. Eating disorders in men are under-diagnosed, under-treated, and under-researched. ED's in men are multi-dimensional. At ANAD we know that all of us deserve to feel good in our own skin.

Myth: Eating disorders are a choice.
Fact: Eating disorders are complex illnesses – there is no single cause. Instead they are thought to be caused by a combination of biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors.
Eating disorders are mental health disorders.
