Men and Eating Disorders in Ireland

It is a common misconception that eating disorders only affect women.  The reality is that eating disorders affect both men and women, boys and girls.  Historically, men affected by eating disorders have been under-diagnosed, under-recognised and under-treated.  In fact, at present, there are no medical guidelines specifically for men experiencing eating disorders.  To mark International Men's Day 2021, Bodywhys shone a light into this uncharted territory in Ireland.  You can find out more at: https://www.bodywhys.ie/understanding-eating-disorders/males-eating-disorders  You might also be interested in watching 'Unspoken' - a new documentary featuring the personal stories of three men with eating disorders: https://www.rte.ie/player/movie/unspoken-e1/242007592177
