Content Description:
|
“Eating disorders among males are more prevalent than most people would suspect. Close to two million American males may suffer from eating disorders and hundreds of thousands more without a diagnosable eating disorder exhibit obsessions with food, weight, appearance, and/or exercise.
Despite growing awareness over the past decade that males are affected by eating disorders, the issue of males and eating disorders still receives little attention, and far too many males with eating disorders go undiagnosed and untreated.
N.A.M.E.D.'s mission is to provide support to males with eating disorders and their families, to make the public more aware of the issue, and to be a resource of information on the subject. “
