National Eating Disorder Screening Week
Early detection matters ⬇️
🛑 This National Eating Disorders Screening Week (October 20-24), take a moment to check in with yourself.
On average, people wait 2.5 years to seek help for anorexia nervosa, and 6 years for binge eating disorder.
During this time, serious medical and psychological issues can develop, making recovery harder.
🗣️ Getting help within the first three years of symptoms can make a big difference and improve recovery outcomes.
AND just because your symptoms may not meet the full criteria for an eating disorder diagnosis doesn’t mean it’s not serious.
Disordered eating can still take a toll—and often gets worse over time. If you’re struggling at all, reaching out at the first signs can make all the difference.
❤️‍🩹 You don’t need a diagnosis to ask for help. You deserve support now.
This National Eating Disorders Screening Week, don’t wait. If you or someone you care about is struggling, take NEDA’s screening tool today at nationaleatingdisorders.org
🙌🏻 NEDA’s screening tool is free, confidential and determines risk for an eating disorder.
