Why NIED?
Eating Disorders are serious but treatable mental illnesses that can affect anyone regardless of gender, age, racial and ethnic identity, sexual orientation or socio-economic background. While it is well documented that mental illnesses are a leading cause of premature death in Canada1, it is less known that Eating Disorders have the highest overall mortality rate of any mental illness, with estimates between 10-15%.
