Could your DNA help advance eating disorder research?

The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the Broad Institute have launched a fully remote study exploring the role of genetics in eating disorders.

Adults 18+ in the U.S. may be eligible, and no eating disorder diagnosis or history is required.

Participation includes a short screener, surveys, and an at-home DNA sample.

Recovery isn't always a clear or easy path. Sometimes, moving forward means facing uncertainty while part of you still wants to hold on to what's familiar.

In NEDA's latest blog, Emma shares her personal experience with early recovery, finding support, and learning to navigate the challenges that come with change.

Her story is a reminder that you don't need to have everything figured out to make progress. Every step matters.

We have a goal today: Get more people screened. And we need your help.

Eating disorders often go unrecognized, and too many people are missing opportunities to connect with support.

That's why we're asking you to do more than raise awareness this National Screening Day. Take action.

Get screened using NEDA's free eating disorder screening tool. Then share this post with your friends and family.

The more people we reach, the more opportunities we create for someone to recognize a potential concern and seek support.

Get screened. Share it. Help us reach someone who needs this today.

When people like Demi Lovato speak openly about their experiences with body image, eating disorders, and recovery, they help bring attention to conversations that deserve to be heard.

On Kerry Washington podcast, Street You Grew Up On , Demi opens up about her experiences, while Kerry also briefly reflects on her own eating disorder history. Their conversation reminds us why recognizing the signs and speaking openly about eating disorders matters.

Watch the full conversation on The Street You Grew Up On podcast.

Today, on National Eating Disorders Screening Day, turn awareness into action. If you’ve questioned your relationship with food or body image, NEDA’s free online screening tool can help you recognize potential warning signs and explore support options.

Get screened today and share the tool with someone who may need it.

What if more people recognized the signs of an eating disorder sooner?

Today is National Screening Day, and we're highlighting why early detection matters.

On average, people wait 2.5 to 6 years to seek treatment for an eating disorder. But no one should have to wait years to recognize that they may need support.

You don't need a diagnosis to ask questions, acknowledge your concerns, or seek help.

NEDA's free eating disorder screening tool, available in English and Spanish, can help you better understand your experiences and explore next steps.

Take the screening. Share the resource. Help someone recognize the signs sooner.

October 11–17 is OCD Awareness Week!

OCD and related disorders, including body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), are often misunderstood. BDD can share symptoms with eating disorders, particularly around body image concerns and appearance-related distress.

This week, we join in raising awareness and encouraging understanding.

Our relationship with food is about more than just food.

Our emotions, body image, and mental health are deeply connected. This World Mental Health Day, NEDA is reminding everyone that eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that deserve recognition, understanding, and support.

If you have concerns about your relationship with food or your body, NEDA's free screening tool can help you better understand your risk and explore next steps.

What looks like wellness content online can sometimes promote harmful messages about food, exercise, and body image.

New research featured in The Washington Post found an association between smartphone ownership at age 12 and eating disorder symptoms later in adolescence. While the study does not establish causation, the findings add to growing concerns about the content young people may encounter through their phones.

NEDA CEO Jessica Scheer spoke with The Washington Post about these risks, including how eating disorder content can be presented as nutrition, fitness, or wellness content.
