Reasons For Concern - Males
The high prevalence of undiagnosed cases of males with eating disorders presents a dangerous landscape for those resisting the psychological and medical help they need for recovery.
While eating disorders vary in their severity, the physical and psychological impacts of an eating disorder have an extensive impact on a person’s wellbeing, and tend to worsen the longer an eating disorder goes undiagnosed and untreated; hence the importance of seeking help as soon as a problem is recognised.
Although some men recover, many do not because they do not get help. The treatment and recovery process is different for every individual and can include medical, nutritional and psychological therapy depending on their relevance. It is important to seek professionals with experience, interest and expertise in care and treatment of eating disorders.
