Image
In a world obsessed with diet culture, body image, and social media perfection, it’s easy to overlook the real struggles that many people face with food and self-perception. Eating disorders are not just about food; they are complex mental health conditions that can take over a person’s life, affecting their physical health, emotions, and relationships. What Are Eating Disorders? Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that involve extreme emotions, behaviors, and attitudes towards food and weight.

Survivors often question their own reality, doubt their worth, and struggle to reclaim the person they once were.
