DANGERS OF EATING DISORDERS - Eating disorders are the second most lethal illness for adults, second only to opioids. Nearly 29 million Americans will have an eating disorder in their lifetime.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been followed by a mental health pandemic and many don’t realize how many of those suffering are also living in silence with an eating disorder. Nearly 29 million Americans will have an eating disorder in their lifetime, and Mackenzie Carmichael is one of them.
“So I’m 28 and when I was 11 or 12, that’s when I acquired my eating disorder," Carmichael explained. “So I got an outpatient team of a therapist and dietitian and went once or twice a week, starting at the beginning, and did that all the way through high school, all the way through senior year. All that's to say, it didn’t stick.”“And I truly hit rock bottom. I was 26 and my two best friends approached me and it was the deepest heart to heart I’ve ever had," Carmichael said.
She is just one of the thousands of people who don’t have the right kind of care in their own community, except unlike Mackenzie, many others never seek out help. Elizabeth Easton is the director of psychotherapy at Eating Recovery Center. “I think first and foremost we need to get the word out more to clinicians physicians dietitians of what eating disorders even are so no matter where they leave, whatever resources they have in their town they can identify something is going on and then connect to resources like us who have centers across the country," Easton said.“We moved to these five different programs to be offered virtually in 21 different states," Easton said.
