Are eating disorders more common among females than males? If so, why?
In: Other
On top of some of the replies here talking about how society will frequently pressure women into eating discorders, men with eating disorders are also under-diagnosed. Since it is commonly seen as a thing that only women get/only women are pressured into (men are certainly pressured into it as well, though maybe not as visibly for most people), this leads to many people thinking men just can’t/don’t get them, and for different reasons they can be discouraged from getting a diagnosis or treatment.
