We have a hidden epidemic of eating disorders. 75% of young women and 50% of young men affected @NHSDigital The demographic is changing. Only 15% known to GPs And <5% have access to treatment.
Many with eating disorders are now being told that they are too ill to be treated. But patients can make a full recovery - it's shameful beyond words to give up on them. I urged the government to take eating disorders seriously following their disregard in the Budget👇
PARTICIPANTS NEEDED👀 We are looking for UK-based #ActuallyAutistic folks to take part in a one-to-one interview to help us explore how they feel about their body and certain eating styles If interested, why not send me (an autistic researcher) an email at [email protected]
Kadın direnişi en güçlü araç elbet. Ama erkeğin erkeğe müdahalesi hiç küçümsenecek şey değil. Gülmediğin her cinsiyetçi/homofobik/transfobik şaka, "yalnız o öyle değil abi" diye çomak soktuğun her erkek muhabbeti önemli. Patriyarkanın reddi bu küçücük jestlerin devasa etkisi var.
To suggest @hopevirgo & @jamesldowns are two of the most inspirational lived experience leaders I've encountered would be an under-statement. Post-diagnosis #bipolar has been one of endurance. To aspire to a vision such as #EndEatingDisorders is humanity. #EndBipolar too 🕊️ .
It was brilliant to attend and speak about eating disorders and recovery today - the amazing @HopeVirgo creating the action and movement we need to #EndEatingDisorders 👏🏼
So happy to share that I'll soon be starting my new role as a Lecturer at the University of Exeter! Super excited :)
Medical students have GOT to learn more about eating disorders. The illness prevalence is increasing, whilst the knowledge amongst clinicians seems to be decreasing. This has to be addressed.
Do *not* give Elsevier your data when they ask you stuff like this, even if it is *required*. Their main business is now data analytics, and they sell your information for profit. eiko-fried.com/welcome-to-hot…
New paper out in Lancet Psychiatry - we set out a list of Top 10 Priorities for the field of eating disorders in neurodivergent people (here referring to autistic people and/or people with ADHD) thelancet.com/journals/lanps… 1/5
Please have a look at this study!
📢 We are still looking for male-identifying folks (he/him/they/them) from the ace community to take part in our study! It's important to us to have your experiences and perspectives represented in this research. If interested, email me at [email protected]
#Neurodivergence is everyone's business. Investigation by @BBC reveals troubling length of #ADHD waiting lists. As chair @rcpsychNDPSIG here is our @rcpsych response tinyurl.com/3z3ww553. Let's join forces with @NHS to find the solution @DrAdrianJames. I am featured on…
