While the majority of people who experience eating disorders like Anorexia and Bulimia are female, there is still a substantial number of men who experience similar difficulties with eating disorders. While often stemming from different external influences, both men and women can have very similar concerns over body weight, body shape and ideal appearance.

Eating disorders commonly occur alongside problems with self-esteem and frequently co-occur with depression or anxiety. Without treatment, eating disorders can lead to significantly lower hormone levels, serious oral health issues (tooth decay) and chronic long term illnesses from unhealthy nutrition. If you or someone you know may be suffering from an eating disorder, know that help is available.

A panic attack is a physical sensation of fear which is a brief episode of anxiety. Panic attacks may occur unexpectedly as they are not usually due to any external threat. A panic attack can last from a few minutes to half an hour. However, the emotional and physical effects of a panic attack can last for a few hours. Panic attacks can be quite common, with a moderate portion of the population having experienced a panic attack sometime in their life. Signs of a panic attack can include shortness of breath, fast heart rate, muscle tension and trembling. Without treatment, prolonged and frequent panic attacks can be debilitating. Individuals will often feel they need to avoid a number of situations for fear of having an attack, which can have negative impacts on their relationships with others
