Understanding Eating Disorders - A conversation with Hope Virgo, Suzanne Baker & Prof. Gerome Breen

An Instagram Live conversation with eating disorder campaigner and MQ Ambassador, Hope Virgo, Carer Representative at the Faculty of Eating Disorders at The Royal College of Psychiatrists, Suzanne Baker, and psychiatric geneticist from The Eating Disorders Genetics Initiative, Professor Gerome Breen.

Around 725,000 people are affected by an eating disorder, and that’s only in the UK. It’s difficult to know precisely how many people have an eating disorder as the illness tends to thrive in secrecy, as those affected come in all shapes and sizes.

It is time we find a solution, and that can be a possibility with research. When you donate, you lay the groundwork for a world where mental illness is better understood, diagnosed, treated and, maybe someday, prevented.

Your donation funds research. And research makes that world a reality.
