Of all eating disorders, I’d say that binge eating disorder probably gets the least amount of press.
(I suppose people simply assume that if you gorge yourself and don’t vomit, you’re simply a glutton rather than someone suffering from a legitimate mental illness.)
The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) mentions these tidbits about binge eating disorder (or […]
For men, it’s just not “cool” to have an eating disorder.
I mean, it’s not exactly hip for gals, either, but when you hear of a female with an ED, you are more apt to think, “Oh, I’m not surprised.”
But a guy… well, that’s just unusual.
According to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), there are an […]
This is fascinating news — a family in Canada claims that their son’s anorexia came about as the direct result of bullying by his peers.
According to an article published in Ontario’s Chatham Daily Times this morning, the elementary-school aged boy was taunted by peers about his weight. He found old food in his desk, pieces of his lunches were stolen […]
I admit it. I’m no longer a geek, at least not a techno one. (Book smart, tech so-so.) How do I know this? I just recently found out about “Second Life“, the virtual 3D “world” where people can do just about anything they want — buy islands (using “linden”, the currency in “Second Life”), have […]
It’s interesting to be an American. On the one hand, education about eating disorders is out there for parents, educators and sufferers to see; on the other hand, we’re being told all the time that the obesity “epidemic” is at an all-time high and we really need to stop eating so much.

Happy National Eating Disorders Awareness Week! From February 24 - March 1, plenty of bloggers, media personnel and ED education and awareness advocates will be talking about anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, EDNOS and everything in between.
Without a doubt, it’s exciting and it’s wonderful to be living in an age where EDs are “out of […]
Apparently, there’s a real New Jersey Devil out there, and it isn’t in the hockey rink or lurking in the backwoods… it’s in the laws surrounding heath insurance.
My amazing blogging colleague Alica (you visit her at Mental Health Notes) noted this week that a case involving eating disorders has hit the courts in the Garden […]
Is your lover named “ED”? After perusing many poignant, honest blog entries, I’m seeing plenty of indications that having an eating disorder like anorexia, bulimia and/or binge eating disorder is much like carrying on an illicit love affair.
Consider how many of the same characteristics govern both situations:
Many people hide their EDs from even their closest relatives and partners just […]
Are eating disorders (EDs) a form of “slow” suicide?
It’s a question I had never considered before, until I began digging around for some information linking self-injurious behavior (e.g., cutting, self-mutilation, suicide) and anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating.
Turns out that there are some interesting factoids connecting EDs and suicide…
At ANRED (Anorexia Nervosa and Related Eating Disorders, Inc.), […]
