Seventy million people suffer from eating disorders globally, resulting in 10,000 deaths annually in the U.S. Recovery is an ongoing journey filled with setbacks, rather than a single endpoint. Initial treatment focuses on symptom management and body image, leading to later challenges like grief, identity, and coping strategies. Recovering is a non-linear process influenced by external factors, including societal pressures. Relapse is a common occurrence, demonstrating the need for deeper understanding of psychological aspects of recovery beyond just behaviors and weight management.
