National Eating Disorder Awareness
February 20-26, 2023.
February is Awareness month with National Eating Disorder Awareness week being February 21-27, 2022.
Often referred to as NEDAwareness Week, the tradition of focusing on eating disorder advocacy and support in the last week of February/first week of March has been observed for over 30 years.
Hosted by NEDA, this week has often involved numerous supportive, inspiring, and informative opportunities in communities around the United States and the world.
Many of these include talks, resource fairs, social media messaging and engagements, and community walks focused on raising awareness and money to finance treatment and research of eating disorders. More information to come.
HISTORY OF NEDA WEEK
The NEDA Week is an initiative that aims to educate people on eating disorders, motivate them with a hopeful message, and allow those who need treatment to gain access to the necessary life-saving resources.
The NEDA Week is an initiative taken by a non-profit organization called the National Eating Disorders Association, which is devoted to preventing eating disorders and increasing awareness of the dangers thereof, and providing resources to those in need. During this week, health care providers, eating disorder professionals, social workers, and individuals educate others about this mental health issue.
According to the American Psychiatric Association, there are five different types of eating disorders, Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder (B.E.D.), Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (A.R.F.I.D.), and Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (O.S.F.E.D.).
Although there are many main factors like genetics that are responsible for eating disorders, they can commonly co-occur with other mental health issues like anxiety, major depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and social phobia. Some of the possible symptoms associated with eating disorders include constantly feeling cold, fainting, sleeping issues, weight fluctuations, dizziness, weakness, and impaired immunity.
Each year, NEDA Week is celebrated with a theme. Last year, the theme was to invite “Every Body to Have a Seat at the Table.” It highlighted the suppressed thoughts and suppressed conversations about disordered eating experienced by marginalized individuals and communities.
So, this NEDA Week let’s come together and educate others about this issue and help others who are in need. Together, we can!
