#EDAW2025 #RestrictedEating or food aversion is a major symptom of #ImmuneMediated #Pans #Pandas #Inflammation triggered by infections viruses such as #strep #covid #mycoplasma #flu could be responsible. Children may find these symptoms difficult to articulate so #BeMyVoice #NoMoreLostChildren
So how has #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek been for you? Seen enough pictures of fruit & salad? 😆
ED awareness is every day for me. I feel incredibly privileged to do this work & hope other therapists can recognise how important it is to learn about disordered eating.

Getting research into practice in the real world is a core value of our research group and we were so grateful for this opportunity. #EDAW2025
Our member Eating Distress North East has written a #EDAW2025 blog highlighting vital facts about eating disorders, the importance of addressing barriers preventing people from accessing services, and where you can turn for support. Read it here: amhp.org.uk/anyone-can-h...
; increasing awareness about eating disorders is vital - but personally, i would prefer the week to coincide with an eating disorders unawareness week, where society takes the awareness away from those who suffer from the illness, thus decreasing our own awarness & we get a fucking break!
#edaw2025
; who needs eating disorders awareness week when you are already painfully aware of your eating disorder every day of the damn week... 🙃
#edaw2025 #eatingdisorderawarenessweek
; i was transferred to Glasgow priory in 2019 - over 400 miles from where i live in Dorset. i felt so alone, hospitalised in a different country & so far from home. it's awful that NHS eating disorder services are so underfunded that this is still happening. 😔 #edaw2025

Weight loss injections are harmful to people with eating disorders. This should be obvious, yet I've seen people suggest they can be used to "treat" binge eating. This often seems to link with "food noise" which I recently wrote about here:
