Approximately 1.25 million people in the UK are affected by an eating disorder and 75% are female. During this third episode of our 'Speaking honestly about.... our bodies' series, the team which includes a mental health professional, explores the basics of eating disorders, how to help recovery and how to support a friend or family member. Jessie also bravely shares her own experience of recovering from an eating disorder and what she has learned. This podcast episode is for everyone – and might aid you in helping someone in the future.
