Welcome to episode 11. This episode is my second in the 'bite-sized' series where I discuss a specific topic in a bite-sized chunk. This episode is part two following on from episode seven.

In this episode I discuss some of the other eating disorders, including Bulimia nervosa, diabulmia, binge eating disorder (BED), avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED). The purpose of these episodes is to open up conversations and remove the stigma that still unfortunately exists around mental health, especially eating disorders.
