On today's episode, Claire, Lily, and our host, Christina, discuss a variety of eating disorders. Each diagnosis seems to come with a lot of misconceptions stemming from a lack of accessible knowlegde about each eating disorder. We not only go over such misconceptions, but also further clarify the symptomology of our discussed diagnosis.
