When it comes to eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and all things mental health, living while Black is unique, nuanced, and deserving of attention. Whether you live in NYC, Chicago, or Atlanta, listening to black podcasts will support Black businesses and magnify Black mental health leaders.

Five Details on Dodging Depression in Eating Disorder Recovery
Struggling with getting out of bed in the morning? Crying a lot and feeling lethargic? Struggling with finding pleasure in activities that you used to love? You may be suffering from clinical depression. The sun can be bright, and the palm trees swaying in the wind as you go about your life in San Diego, but you still feel sad. It can really, really suck—especially when you’re recovering from an eating disorder.
Depression is very typical in people with eating disorders. It is a common co-occurring or co-morbid mental disorder in individuals struggling with anorexia (AN), bulimia (BN), binge eating disorder (BED), and other specified feeding or eating disorders (OSFED).
