Myth: “You can tell if someone has an eating disorder by looking at them.”
The truth is that disordered eating and eating disorders affect people of all body sizes, genders, ages, and identities ... and they’re not always visible from the outside.
Misconceptions like this can make people feel unseen or hesitant to reach out for support, which can delay early intervention and prolong suffering.
Healing and recovery are possible. Working with a therapist who specializes in disordered eating can help you develop support, resilience, and compassion in your relationship with food and your body.
