How can I best help my friend who's dealing with an eating disorder?
user
One of the best things you can do for your friend is to be supportive. Listen to them, don't criticize their choices, and be there for them when they need someone to talk to. Offer to accompany them to therapist sessions or doctor appointments if they are open to it, and encourage themto take small steps towards recovery such as keeping a food journal or simply taking a walk outside. Being there for your friend will help both of you navigate this difficult situation together.

The best way to help a friend dealing with an eating disorder is to be supportive and understanding. Don't criticize their choices and don't pressure them to change. Instead, focus on being a listening ear and offering empathy. Point out positive changes in body language or moods, when noted, and be encouraging yet understanding when relapses occur.
