With social media, Snapchat, TikTok, and constant online comparison, many teens feel pressure about how they look, what they eat, and how they should “move” their bodies.
Eating disorders aren’t just about food or dieting – they’re serious mental health conditions with some of the highest mortality rates amongst mental health disorders generally. They can quietly take over a person’s thoughts, daily life, and sense of who they are.
Catching the signs early can not only support recovery, but help prevent an eating disorder from taking hold in the first place. In this post, we share:
✅ What early warning signs to look for
✅ How to make home a safe, body-neutral space
If you’re worried about your teen, you don’t have to wait for things to get “bad enough” to seek help. Find a psychologist that has experience with body image & eating disorders.
Early support makes a real difference — you don’t have to navigate it alone.
