Eating disorders can be similar to other mental illnesses because they both need something to help it calm down or go away slowly but surely. While some need meds, others need coping skills- same thing can apply to eating disorders I believe

Eat disorder is similar to other mental illnesses because if someone had an eating disorder and and then someone had a mental illness they are both struggling to defeat the illness
