Eating Disorders: Bodywhys
Ms Kathy Downes:
Absolutely. Based on our services and the figures from our statistics in the past couple of years, in terms of people contacting us who are male or are concerned about a young or an adult male, it would be about one in ten. In 2019, it was about two in ten; the number rose slightly. Anecdotally, however, it feels much larger than that in terms of parental contact.
