Atypical anorexia is not atypical. Atypical anorexia is anorexia. Oppression of fat bodies in eating disorder care should be atypical. It Is not.

AN doesn't magically develop at a BMI threshold... People become more medically and mentally unwell in attempts to qualify to get help with BMI barriers - working to gain validation from themselves and insurance that they are "sick enough." BMI criteria for AN is dangerous.

Atypical anorexia nervosa is actually not that atypical. Pass it on. #MedEd

This is why people with eating disorders are afraid to speak to their GP.

Hard agree with this poster - not enough support given to families - it feels like we're expected to provide all the care and treatment 167hrs out of 168 in the week. Not expected with any other illness #DumpTheScales #eatingdisordermarch

Thank you @HopeVirgo and all who organised the march today. So powerful to see people shouting and sharing about an illness that so often silences and isolates people. thank you @foxonameadow for a lovely photo of my wonky handwriting! @drchuks_ @johnmcdonnellMP #DumpTheScales ❤️

📢Once more for those at the back! It is not less common, it is not less serious and it is not less dangerous. It reinforces 'I'm not ill enough' mindset and fixates on weight. It's hard enough to recover from this absolute bastard of an illness, please don't make it even harder

What should you do when family therapist tells your child that she ‘doesn’t have a diagnosis for anorexia’ - because she has diagnosis for ‘atypical’ anorexia?@CaraLisette @HopeVirgo @OonaHanson @thefobpodcast @RebelBarefoot @RmnBecki @HealingMindsTW @theshirarose @K_Lazenby

James and I did a joint interview 💜 always so proud when he talks about what it was like for him. It is important to acknowledge what the carers go through too.

It would be amazing @GaryLineker if you could do a shout out for the Uks first eating disorder March because enough is enough and no one should be dying of an eating disorder in 2023! #dumpthescales All info is here -eventbrite.co.uk/e/join-us-to-m…

So this. 👇 and while we’re here PLEASE can we end the diagnosis of ‘atypical’ anorexia - anorexia is anorexia regardless of weight. For what other illness would you receive a different diagnosis due to your weight?
