Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Eating disorders are understood to no longer be the remit of lean adolescent girls alone [1], whatever pop culture offerings such as Netflix’s To The Bone might continue to present. Rather, people with eating disorders are much more diverse, often undiagnosed and often suffering in silence. One patient population with a unique but poorly understood vulnerability to eating disorders, as well as obesity and poor physical health, is people with bipolar disorder.
