R.I.S.H: Radical. Idea. or Spurious. Hypothesis? — Anorexia Myths I don’t want to give it the oxygen of publicity but this speculative diagnosis is spreading like wildfire and people need to understand that there is no evidence for it. anorexiamyths.com/am-blog/rish-r…

Please read this important and urgent paper. As freelance ‘diagnoses’ takes hold in the ED field, with zero evidence, patients are put at risk. This is a dangerous and shocking situation. Does this happen in other fields?

I wonder how many patients have been rejected from UK eating disorder services based on the unvalidated RISH concept?

Lorna Collins@sensinglorna·
A crucial paper about new treatments for people who have #eatingdisorders. I’m so pleased it includes evidence from the I-CBTE model proving that #recoveryispossible. Thank you @DavidViljoenED @AgnesAyton for all you do. Now we must expand and implement this model around the UK.

The ‘new holy grail’ for treating eating disorders. Great to see our I-CBTE case studies cited in this paper on insights and innovations in severe & longstanding ED. rdcu.be/dYM07 doi.org/10.1186/s40337… journals.lww.com/co-psychiatry/… @AgnesAyton @sensinglorna @m_twitchell23

I gave evidence to the APPG on eating disorders which launches a new report today. The failures in care are stark. How many more years do we have to call for change before there is meaningful action? APPG Report The Right To Health yumpu.com/en/document/re…

@AnorexiaMyths @jamesldowns It’s only been the past yr, that I have reflected on the fact that I was admitted to our local hospice in 2010 for end of life care, suffering Anorexia nervosa, I am now recovered and now want to help others,my story could be a warning, it could have ended up so different

We have a hidden epidemic of eating disorders. 75% of young women and 50% of young men affected @NHSDigital The demographic is changing. Only 15% known to GPs And <5% have access to treatment.

Wera Hobhouse MP 🔶 🇺🇦@Wera_Hobhouse

Many with eating disorders are now being told that they are too ill to be treated. But patients can make a full recovery - it's shameful beyond words to give up on them. I urged the government to take eating disorders seriously following their disregard in the Budget👇
