Eating Disorders: Fighting Back, with Dr. Christine Peat

Did you know that nearly 10% of the U.S. population will have an eating disorder sometime during their lifetime or that eating disorders have the second highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness behind opioid addiction? Eating disorders are under-recognized and stigmatized at a staggering individual and societal cost. On Wednesday, Sept. 25 at 2 p.m. ET Dr. Christine Peat, Director of the National Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders (NCEED) and President of the Eating Disorders Coalition for Research, Policy & Action (EDC) joined us to discuss the progress, achieved and needed, in the prevention and treatment of eating disorders.
