Need to talk to someone about an eating disorder?

Research has highlighted that 92% of young people with an eating disorder feel there is no-one they can turn to about their problem. 

Only 1% surveyed said they can talk to their parents and 9% can talk to someone at school about their concerns.  83% said they would not be able to approach their GP or nurse about their illness.

At least 1.1 million people in the UK are directly affected by an eating disorder.

Young people between 14 and 25 years of age are at greatest risk.

On www.yougo4it.co.uk we have included information to help those worried about someone with an eating disorder and the signs to look out for if you are concerned.  We have also included how to contact the Eating Disorders Association for help and advice.
