Eating Disorder Recovery
The National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders conducted a study that revealed that 5% to 10% of all anorexia nervosa patients will die within 10 years of symptom onset. Only 30% to 40% of anorexia patients fully recover and only 10% of eating disorder sufferers will ever seek treatment.
Despite these sobering statistics, it is absolutely possible to recover from an eating disorder. The Eating Disorder Recovery section on Suite101.com explores the various methods of treatment, how to help a friend or family member with an eating disorder and more.
