Eating Disorders Awareness Week 27 February - 5 March 2023

Eating Disorders Awareness Week 27 February - 5 March 2023

Around 1 in 4 people with eating disorders are men. And yet in 2023, their symptoms can still go unnoticed by those around them.

BREAKING THE MOULD

To better understand these complex mental illnesses — and put gender stereotypes to bed — Beat launched the UK’s biggest survey to date on men’s experiences with eating disorders.

Of those that took part, 1 in 3 had never accessed treatment. 1 in 5 had never spoken out about their struggles. And 4 in 5 felt raising awareness would help more men get treatment sooner. 

Want to talk? We're here. Our Helpline team are available 365 days a year from 9am – midnight during the week, and 4pm–midnight on weekends and bank holidays. 0808 801 0677
