How many people have eating disorders?
It is estimated that five to ten million people, in the United States alone, suffer from some form of eating disorder. The amounts of people who do not come forward to seek help are estimated to be equal to that of the reported amounts. For many it is a secret shame that they keep hidden from their closest friends and family. Globally, this is a problem that is not hindered by race, sex or age and the numbers keep increasing as new disorders are diagnosed.
