We’re in the midst of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (NEDAW). The focus this year is on acknowledging that eating disorders can affect anyone, and that everyone struggling with an eating disorder, no matter who they are or where they are in recovery, deserves to get the treatment they need.

NEDAW is a good time to assess your own thoughts about eating, body weight, and exercise. Are your attitudes in a healthy range, or could you be at risk for disordered eating?

You may be concerned about a roommate or a classmate who has recently become preoccupied with food, dieting, weight, and body image, and who seems depressed or irritable, and may be having difficulties with class, work and friendships. This friend may have an eating disorder.
