When treating eating disorders like bulimia nervosa (BN), there are not only different types of therapies to help but also different levels of care. These levels represent the intensity of treatment, ranging from inpatient eating disorder treatment to outpatient programs.

Over the years, certain stereotypes have developed around eating disorders, including the idea that they primarily affect white women and girls. Of course, this isn't actually the case. Disordered eating behaviors and the negative self-image and poor self-esteem that often drive them impact people of all genders, races, and ages.
