#HelpMenGetHelp - Eating Disorders Awareness Week

Around 1 in 4 people with eating disorders are men and yet in 2023, their symptoms can still go unnoticed by those around them.

Beat, the UK’s Eating Disorders Charity, recently ran the biggest survey on men’s experience with eating disorders.

Of those that took part, 1 in 3 had never accessed treatment. 1 in 5 had never spoken out about their struggles. And 4 in 5 felt raising awareness would help more men get treatment sooner.
