The Intersection of Eating Disorders and the LGBTQ+ Community: Identity, Healing, and Self-Acceptance
Eating disorders do not discriminate. They affect people of all ages, races, genders, and backgrounds. Yet, data consistently shows that individuals within the LGBTQ+ community face disproportionately high rates of eating disorders. This is not merely a coincidence—it’s a reflection of the complex relationship between identity, social stigma, trauma, and access to care. To support healing and recovery for LGBTQ+ individuals, we must understand how these identities influence not only the development of eating disorders but also the journey toward self-acceptance and wellness.
