(TW suicide) Today is #SuicidePreventionDay we’ve been working on a study to explore why people with eating disorders are at risk of suicide & self-harm. Listen to me & @mrtzhrl talk about suicide & EDs with Han on the Full of Beans podcast @thefobpodcast

These findings build on existing models, suggesting a need for more nuanced approaches that consider the unique experiences of individuals with EDs. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating lived experience into the development of research & interventions. (5).

4️⃣“They Only See Weight” – Gaps in care where services focus solely on physical health, neglecting the emotional and psychological aspects of EDs. (4).

2️⃣The Outsider Experience – Feelings of being unseen, misunderstood, or burdensome, particularly for those who don't fit typical ED stereotypes. 3️⃣Sparks of Hope – Protective factors such as meaningful connections and moments of belief that help individuals persist. (3).

Through semi-structured interviews with 30 individuals with lived experience of EDs and 19 clinicians, the research identifies four key themes: .1️⃣“No Way Out” – Suicidality arises from the chronic sense of entrapment within the illness and the uncertainty of recovery. (2).
