Eating disorders affect teens of all body types, backgrounds, and personalities. Early detection and intervention can mean the difference between a short-term struggle and a long-term illness.

The Problem With “Waiting to See”

Eating disorders aren’t just about food—they’re serious mental health conditions with the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder. And they don’t always “look” like you expect.

  • 95% of people with eating disorders are between the ages of 12–25

  • They don’t have to match the stereotypes to need help

  • Your teen doesn’t have to be underweight to be in danger.

  • Early treatment improves recovery outcomes significantly
