If you or someone you care about is struggling with disordered eating, there are a variety of trusted organizations and support options to learn more and find professional care. One of the main resources in the United States is the National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA), which has a searchable directory of treatment providers that can be filtered by location and service type.
In addition to treatment search tools, NEDA has listings for support groups and community resources to offer encouragement throughout recovery. Many of these groups are free or low-cost and can be available both in-person and online.
Another important organization is the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD), which runs a helpline, has peer support groups and a treatment directory.
For a broad range of educational tools and other guidance, Eating Disorder Hope offers articles, videos and recovery resources.
If you or someone you know is experiencing distress or feels unsafe, don't hesitate to reach out for immediate support through crisis services such as the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
