Eating disorders have the highest overall mortality rate of any mental illness — one in ten will not survive their disorder. Despite this sobering reality, eating disorders are poorly understood, inadequately treated, and underfunded. #EDAW2023 bit.ly/3wJPDGv
ALT On a light pink background, there is a writing in large, bold, font that reads : " Recovery is possible". Right below, in smaller font, reads : " For immediate support, please reach out : " Right below that is the National Eating Disorder Information Centre (NEDIC) helpline : " 1-866-NEDIC-20 or 416-340-4156 " To the right of all of this is a hand holding out a pink heart. To the left side, on the bottom, are three pink hearts. On the top left corner is the MHCC logo, a spark made up of blue and green lines.

They affect people of all genders, ages and backgrounds, and if left untreated or undiagnosed, they can cause serious mental and physical harm. It’s estimated about a million Canadians have an eating disorder – many of them undiagnosed.
