The impact is devastating. There is a lack of resources for all individuals with eating disorders.
For those who fall outside what we commonly call the main stream, there are huge barriers to accessing appropriate education, support, and treatment. All I can say is that it doesn't exist. A treatment strategy for individuals from minority communities, as far as I'm aware, does not exist. There are valiant efforts by health care providers in communities to do what they can. However, if the priorities are focused elsewhere, whether it's diabetes or other health issues, then eating disorders are going to remain under-identified and under-treated.
