This article hit me on two different levels.
1- In our struggles with insurance companies I often find myself wondering how they fail to realize that investing in solid treatment will not only lead to lowering the suffering of the individual we are working with, but also in the long run save insurance companies money in the long term health problems which result from eating disorder behaviors.
2-This study states “that obesity prevention programs that stigmatize obesity or create a sense of blame can actually contribute to eating disorders.” Goes along with awareness of weight bias.
