The Truth Behind Common Eating Disorder Myths

Kenneth L. Weiner, M.D., FAED, CEDS

When I read this blog, i was speechless­. I am so happy that these extremely harmful myths are finally being put straight.

I am a therapist that specialize­s in eating disorders and I have just written a book called 'HOPE with Eating Disorders' that is being published by Hay House on April 2nd 2012. The book is aimed at carers of eating disorder sufferers, a group of people that often get forgotten but suffer just as much.

I am so pleased that this article explores the real truths about eating disorders, and these should be known by everyone. The fact that eating disorders are stereotype­d to woman, makes it so much more difficult for male sufferers to seek help. If you are a male sufferer and want to seek support please visit www.menget­edstoo.co.­uk

Also what I believe is one of the most harmful myths and can stunt the recovery process is that the parents are to blame and they cannot assist in recovery..­.i beleive this could not be so wrong, as this article also states, the parents are not to blame and they actually can be the most powerful to assist in recovery.

Lastly i am so pleased that this article brings HOPE, and the truth that there can be full and lasting recovery from an eating disorder as my beautiful daughter and my many clients prove.
