Eating disorders in adulthood

Eating disorders (EDs) don't only affect teenagers. They can appear at any point in life, and it's important to detect them and receive appropriate professional help. Furthermore, it's not true that the symptoms or distress associated with these disorders disappear with age. Therefore, it's essential that both those affected and their families are attentive to signs of relapse or any suspicion of an emerging ED, regardless of the person's age. In this session, we'll focus on eating disorders in adulthood, answering all your questions.
