Life-saving care shouldn’t depend on access

Eating disorders and mood and anxiety disorders are serious, complex illnesses. With the right care, recovery is possible.

The Foundation’s advocacy, research, and financial support remove barriers that stand between people and care.

Eating disorders are serious. Access and funding have yet to catch up

30 M

Americans will experience an eating disorder in their lifetime.

40 M

Adults in the U.S. experience an anxiety disorder each year (18.1% of the population).

20.9 M

American adults have a mood disorder; 9.7% report one in the past year.

Disproportionately Low Funding

Federal research funding remains insufficient compared to the number of people impacted.
