Prevention

Examine your beliefs and prejudices about weight and appearance. Develop and communicate acceptance and respect for yourself and other people, regardless of weight. This will reduce some of the pressure people may feel to change their bodies.
Notice and draw self-esteem from your positive qualities, not only from the way you look.
Actively challenge cultural, media, peer, and social pressures to lose weight.

Treatment options

The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (called NICE for short) has issued information to the NHS on eating disorders. The aim of this is to improve care and treatment. If you think the treatment or care that you receive (or someone you care for receives) does not match the treatment or care described in the NICE guidelines you should discuss your concerns with the healthcare professional involved in your care, your GP, advocate or members of your healthcare team.

Stigma

Stigma is a big threat to the recovery of persons with eating disorders. Chances are you know someone who has or has had a mental health problem like an eating disorder, anxiety, depression, drug and alcohol misuse, dementia they can affect anyone and can cause more suffering and disability than any other type of health problem.
