“Unfortunately, even with the most evidence-based treatments, the full recovery rate for eating disorders remains lower than desired at around 40 to 50%. However, this isn’t a reason to give up hope.”
Natalie Prohaska, M.D., Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist, University of Michigan
Eating disorders affect every aspect of an individual’s health – including physical, emotional, cognitive, and social – with impacts ranging from mild to life-threatening.
