Fears people with eating disorders will relapse or get worse during coronavirus restrictions, as charities see sharp increase in those contacting them
Hobbies 'can help' eating disorder patients
Dr Menna Jones, from Cardiff and Vale University Health Board's Service for High-risk Eating Disorders , said clients were calling for support on a daily basis. Four years ago Sioned Martha Davies, from Carmarthenshire, was admitted to hospital with an eating disorder. "It is a difficult experience, obviously, to suffer with an eating disorder, especially in a time like this, because you don't feel like you have any distractions to take your mind away from the horrible thoughts."
While mental health charity Mind Cymru said it was concerned people isolating on their own would not have access to support systems to stay well or get better."If people are at home and they're suffering, they should be asking for help because when we come out of this lockdown, we want everybody to be in the best possible place.
