Three ways we can improve eating disorder treatments

One-third of people with an eating disorder are neurodivergent, yet traditional eating disorder research and treatments haven't factored this into the equation.

Binge eating is the most common eating disorder in Australia, whilst there is also a rising number of menopausal women suffering from anorexia.

Treatments geared specifically toward these groups are available, however outdated preconceptions about who gets eating disorders often hamper doctors' ability to diagnose and treat them.
