Truth #2: Families are not to blame. 

Truth #3: Families can be the patient's best allies in treatment. 

Truth #4: Eating disorders are not choices, but serious biologically-influenced mental illnesses. 

Truth #5: Eating disorders affect people of all genders, ages, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, socioeconomic statuses, weight and body size. 

Truth #6: Eating disorders carry an increased risk for both suicide and physical/medical complications. 

Truth #7: Genes play a role in eating disorders, but environment also influences their development. 

Truth #8: Genes are not destiny when it comes to eating disorders. 

Truth #9: Full recovery from an eating disorder is possible.
