Eating Disorders Article Posted: 08-09-06 11:08am


Hi, i am a journalist, and am also currently the primary carer for my boyfriend who has been suffering with an eating disorder for the last 3 years, and this has prompted me to write an article about eating disorders, especially focusing on male eating disorders and the difficulty in accessing treatment and lack of public awareness. I am looking for people of either sex who would be willing to answer a few confidential questions via email. If you would be willing to do this, please email me at anonymousreporter@hotmail.Co.Uk. Thanks a lot. Rebekah

Hi. These illnesses are seen more like female issues, although they affect men too. Whereas women tend to be more transparent about it, men hide it a lot better, and, of course, they are less then the females who suffer from eds.
