  • Rebecca's personal experience of anorexia nervosa, depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts.

  • The management of multiple mental health conditions within services, and how services should be integrated to support overall mental health.

  • The development of mental health conditions, and how Rebecca's experience transitioned between mental health conditions, leading to suicidal ideation.

  • Rebecca's recovery and how she has navigated these conditions alongside each other, and how recovery has increased self-awareness.
