The pandemic has impacted various aspects of people’s lives, but one of the greatest impacts is the increase in eating disorders - especially for youth. In this episode, we will dive into the causes of eating disorders, the types of eating disorders, the impact on the brain, the impact of the pandemic, treatments, and much much more. We know this can be a sensitive topic, so if you feel safe, join Mike and Arushi in better understanding eating disorders.
If you have any questions, comments, or future topic suggestions, we would love to hear from you. You can email us at cydcpodcast@gmail.com.
