Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness.
I came onto YouTube to browse, see if there were many videos regarding a certain very specific topic. Wasn't I amazed when I found a plethora of such videos, some much more helpful than others. Funny thing is, I do a quick search for recovery and get more results based on the "pro eating disorder movement". If I was the intelligent person that I like to believe I am I probably wouldn't even bother clicking the links to these videos, but at times I do (no, I won't lie and say I never have or never do view this garbage), but let me tell you something: eating disorders are not an accessory, a choice, or "cool". I've literally lost half of my life to eating disordered hell. Over a decade of illness, hospitalizations, medical consequences, and the loss of everything I once cared about. The hell that has plagued my mind has unfortunately plagued others. I've lost friends to the medical complications associated with eating disorders, and some to suicide because they couldn't deal with the torture from their minds any longer. Eating disorders are not some glamorous game. Again, highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness.
