Are you a man suffering from an eating disorder? tell us

Anorexia, bulimia and binge eating also affect men.

-

When we talk about a person suffering from anorexia or bulimia, we immediately have in mind a teenage girl or a young woman.

However, eating disorders (ADD) do not only affect women.

Men can also suffer from anorexia, bulimia or binge eating, but they often take longer to be diagnosed.

The number of young men affected by an eating disorder is also underestimated because some of them do not recognize the symptoms of a TCA.

If you are a man and you suffer or have suffered from anorexia, bulimia or binge eating, your testimony is of interest to us.

What PDD have you suffered from or are you currently suffering from?

What are or have been your symptoms?

How do you explain today that you fell into the TCA?

Have the societal injunctions around what a male body should be like having an impact on you?

How long did it take and how did you realize that you had a TCA?

How did your loved ones react?
