No kidding? Me, too!

Until the eating disorders advocacy world allies with and works with the larger mental health community, we are going to have to keep fighting the same issues over and over again both inside and outside the field.

Eating disorders belong along with other serious brain-based mental illnesses: bipolar, schizophrenia, depression and anxiety disorders. I know this makes people uncomfortable: people in the ED world are afraid of the association and people in the larger mental health field don't get it - but we're talking about the deadliest disorders and ones that cause enormous societal and personal damage.
