If a man told you he’d got an ED, what would you think? Surprised that he was telling you about his erectile dysfunction and a little impresssed at his courage because it’s something that’s not easy to talk about. Maybe.
But for some men there’s an ED that’s even harder to discuss – eating disorders. Not only is it difficult to recognise an eating disorder in yourself, it can also be difficult to convince others – including doctors.
In fact eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia are not just women’s problems. Thousands of men have them and the number is growing. Left unrecognised and untreated they can be very dangerous to health indeed. Eating disorders can kill.
