Eating disorder diagnosis - Leah's story

Eating disorder diagnosis - Leah's story

“You think how could we have that family love again? How can we ever have what we had before? But it’s there, it’s possible and it comes back.” Leah, Carer and Eating Disorders Families Australia supporter.


Leah's daughter had been struggling with mental health challenges when an eating disorder diagnosis rocked the family. In this heartfelt podcast - the second in EDFA's Strong Enough season - Leah talks us through those first days, the signs and signals she noticed, her experiences finding the health team her daughter needed and navigating the fear of a diagnosis.


She discusses how joining EDFA's eating disorder support group for carers helped her survive and thrive PLUS offers her top three tips on how to support someone with an eating disorder.
