Ep 235: Male Eating Disorders
Jan 24, 2022, 06:00 AM
Mick takes a look at statistics around the number of men coming forward to get help for Eating Disorders.
Stats from Beat show that during the pandemic, the number of sessions supplied to men and boys increased by 113%.
In this week's podcast, he's discussing the stigma and misunderstanding around eating disorders in men, and how it could mean the issue goes unreported.
Ed Emond and Thomas Pickford are our guests.
Ed is Beat's Deputy Director of Services, while Thomas is now a volunteer, sharing his story of facing an eating disorder which was diagnosed when he was 21.
