Having suffered with a variety of eating disorders throughout my life, too many professionals have not understand eating disorders or how to engage with sufferers. I think if specific training on eating disorders was mandatory in certain settings, especially hospitals and mental health settings, professionals who may come into contact with sufferers would have a better understanding of eating disorders, which should greatly benefit those who suffer
