Eating disorders are one of the deadliest mental illnesses, second only to opioid overdose. Eating disorders affect at least nine percent of the population worldwide and more than 28 million Americans will experience an eating disorder in their lifetime. Since the pandemic, these numbers have only continued to rise. For those who are uninsured or underinsured, many do not have access to treatment. The new Center for Eating Disorders & Body Positivity at Bergen New Bridge accepts all patients for treatment regardless of their ability to pay and takes a unique approach to helping those it serves. A focus is placed on balancing the mind body connection through nutritional counseling, group therapy, family therapy, and individual counseling.
