Eating Disorders In and Out: Part 2 Professional POV

Lucy Royles Season 2 Episode 3

This week's episode is the second part of a two-part special on eating disorders. In this episode, I interview an amazing lady called Ameena. Ameena is not only a mental health nurse on an eating disorder ward, but also a courageous survivor of an eating disorder herself. The insight provided by Ameena is incredibly informative and impactful.

Subtopics covered include 'Ameena's story';  what an eating disorder actually is; symptoms and signs of an eating disorder; behavioral elements; support and signposting; and finally a Q&A based on listener's questions.

As I stated in last week's episode, there is more to eating disorders than meets the eye and I hope that you find this episode beneficial in some way. It is such an important topic and I want to help raise as much awareness for it as possible.

TRIGGER WARNING - if you are currently suffering from an eating disorder, this episode could be triggering to you so it is not advisable to listen.

DISCLAIMER - Although Ameena is a professional, I am not, so if you are suffering it is always advisable to seek professional help from your GP.
