Jonathan Hedström: "Immediately when you eat you get such damn anxiety"

Stigman and shame mean that fewer men than women seek help for their eating disorders.

This was also the case for Jonathan Hedström, who did not seek professional help until he had put his hockey career on the shelf. 

- Tattooed, verbal and with the style of play I had.

Many afterwards have said, shit, it was so bad. 

"Such damn anxiety"

The documentary series Eating Disorders follows him and four other Swedes and their fight against eating disorders.

- Immediately when you eat you get such a hell of an anxiety and then I trained even more, he says. 

Now Jonathan Hedström is lecturing on eating disorders but is still fighting on his own.  

- For me, it is important to be normal, normal is good, he says.

The documentary series "Eating Disorder" consists of three episodes that are released once a week.

Watch it here on SVT Play.
