Eating disorders need more awareness and research so people who are affected by them can get the help they need. If left untreated they can be deadly. It is very important that insurance companies allow these people to get treatment for this.
Research demonstrates that eating disorders CAN be successfully overcome when early detection and adequate and appropriate treatment take place. Unfortunately, at this point in time, eating disorders are all too often undiagnosed or completely misdiagnosed by health professionals, and access to treatment is limited. Less than 1/2 of all people with eating disorders receive the treatment they both need and deserve.
