Today, 2nd June 2022, is World Eating Disorder Action Day!
The theme this year is "Caring for the carer"
On this occasion, the MEEDA podcast interviewed 3 carers about their experience supporting a loved one recovering from an Eating Disorder: Leila helped her sister and husband, Atul his daughter and Carrie her daughter.
They bravely share their intimate stories of diagnosis, treatment and recovery, their challenges as carers, how they managed to stay strong and focused, what they would say to someone who just discovered their child/sibling/partner has an ED and what their wish would be to prevent Eating Disorders in the Middle East.
The whole MEEDA team extends their deep gratitude and recovery wishes to Leila, Atul and Carrie, but also thinks, today more than ever, about all the people suffering from an Eating Disorder and those around them helping them through this ordeal.
Please share, repost, talk about Eating Disorders, today even more than usual, so we can break the stigma and get more people properly diagnosed and treated. For more on awareness and pledges this World Eating Disorder Action Day, please visit: http://www.worldeatingdisordersday.org/
