Recent studies have shown that people with anorexia have the highest rate of completed suicide and those with bulimia have the greatest number of attempts. Furthermore, one study also found that half of people struggling with binge eating disorder have attempted suicide. These facts are absolutely heart wrenching. Let’s spread awareness, hope and support for all on this World Suicide Day.
