The BBC reports that 'eating disorder hospital cases up 84% in 5 years in England'. Life Hurts by Dr Elizabeth McNaught is a doctor's journey through anorexia & is a valuable resource for anyone suffering to seek hope through identification. malcolmdown.co.uk/life-hurts #eastingdisorder

Remember, if you haven’t yet recovered from anorexia that doesn’t mean you’ve failed; it means that the treatment hasn’t worked or there’s still a way to go. Failure doesn’t come into it.

So excited for the upcoming publication of our book, the Oxford specialist handbook of eating disorders! #eatingdisorders #mentalhealth #author

If today has been a bad day try hard to let it go, don’t let today’s bad day ruin what could be tomorrows good day! #mentalhealth #eatingdisorders #recovery #depression #anxiety #anorexia #bulimia #bingeeating

There's no such thing as a "cheat meal" You're not married to broccoli, and food doesn't have a moral value.

Mental health conditions thrive in isolation, contact can be hard but it doesn’t have to be impossible, even a small text every day could be helpful! #recovery #SundayThoughts

Food shopping together can be helpful for someone with an #eatingdisorder, take it at their pace and gently encourage them to try out different foods and to avoid buying #binge or #restrictive food #MondayMotivations #mentalhealth

Mental illness does not magically go away over Christmas. Big love to anyone struggling right now and anyone worried about the upcoming festivities 💛

My wife and I talking this evening about how important names are between patients and health professionals. And reminded of this

#Christmas can be a struggle if you have an #eatingdisorder. It is just another day, if you recognise it will be a trigger then don’t put pressure on yourself, stick to a balanced meal plan. Prioritise #recovery
