Just read @hadleyfreeman outstanding, and deeply moving and brilliantly-written, book: ‘Good Girls - a story and study of anorexia’. It’s a must read for anyone working with #eatingdisorders. Resonated so much with my experience with clients. Thank you Hadley.

This article mentions a bunch of things which I am sure have had an impact on the rise of eating disorders, but one thing it does not mention is the catastrophic decision to put calorie amounts on menus in pubs and restaurants.

A sad but deeply familiar story. So many of my teenage clients talk to me about #eatingdisorders and #selfharm. NHS support is virtually non-existent/v limited and clients often face huge misunderstanding from those around them. We need to do much better.

"The body mass index (BMI) metric has caused 'historical harm,' including racist exclusion, according to a new report by the American Medical Association (AMA) Council on Science and Public Health."

Patients, families, doctors & other experts on #EatingDisorders were left stunned as to how a #chatbot designed to help people w/ eating disorders ended up dispensing diet tips instead.
It has also set off a fresh wave of debate as cos turn to #ArtificialIntelligence (#AI) as a possible solution to a surging #MentalHealth crisis & severe shortage of clinical #treatment providers.

Many thanks to Tanya Adkin for laying out her concept of "meerkat mode" in this article.
I think a lot of people will relate to it.

Research into #EatingDisorders tends to exclude older people. Researchers looking to study interventions tend to recruit participants from social media or from #EatingDisorder clinics – meaning older adults are largely ignored. Consequently, guidelines for interventions are based on evidence for what works in a younger cohort. https://theconversation.com/older-people-have-eating-disorders-too-but-theyre-a-largely-ignored-group-201053

Powerful (and superbly-written) piece @TrevorPTweets @thetimes on young people, their #mentalhealth and #eatingdisorders, writing movingly about his daughter’s struggles and death. He makes the argument that much of our current crisis is linked to self and national confidence.

#EatingDisorders #MentalHealth #AI #ChatBots: "The National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA) has taken its chatbot called Tessa offline, two days before it was set to replace human associates who ran the organization’s hotline.
After NEDA workers decided to unionize in early May, executives announced that on June 1, it would be ending the helpline after twenty years and instead positioning its wellness chatbot Tessa as the main support system available through NEDA. A helpline worker described the move as union busting, and the union representing the fired workers said that "a chatbot is no substitute for human empathy, and we believe this decision will cause irreparable harm to the eating disorders community."
As of Tuesday, Tessa was taken down by the organization following a viral social media post displaying how the chatbot encouraged unhealthy eating habits rather than helping someone with an eating disorder."
