Eating Recovery Center awarded "Best Variety" in eating disorder support groups.

At least 30 million Americans experience some kind of eating disorder, according to the Eating Disorders Coalition. And almost half of Americans know someone who’s experienced disordered eating.

These mental health conditions, which can include food restricting, binging, or over-exercising, can affect anyone. However, they are typically more prevalent among young women, particularly teens.

Because so much in daily life can be triggering for survivors of eating disorders, online support groups can help those in recovery cope and find community as they heal.

The following outlines eight of the best online eating disorder support groups and why each one may be beneficial.
