A lot of pressure is put on celebrities with eating disorders to look a certain way, which can lead to extremely restrictive diets and erratic eating schedules. We all typically assume that celebrities don't have to deal with the same problems as the rest of us, but that's not the case.
People don't always understand celebrities with eating disorders. They often assume that eating disorders are their way of life. However, celebrities with eating disorders are serious and often life-threatening conditions that affect the way people think, feel, and act when they eat.
What is an eating disorder?
Eating disorders are major health problems that hurt both the body and mind. Some of these conditions affect the way you think about food, how you consume food, your physique and form, and how you eat. These signs can hurt your health, make you feel bad, and make it difficult for you to do important things.

If eating disorders aren't handled well, they can turn into chronic issues, and, in some cases, even cause death. Bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and anorexia nervosa are all types of eating disorders
Even though many eating problems start when people are teenagers, they can and do start at any age. Genes and a mix of social, environmental, and cultural variables are some of the known causes.
A lot of people also think that trauma, anxiety, sadness, and low self-esteem can lead to eating disorders. Recovering from eating disorders isn't easy, but it's possible.
Celebrities with eating disorders
In the spirit of spreading knowledge, breaking down taboos and giving people hope, here are five celebrities with eating disorders who have spoken publicly about their encounters:
1) Tayor Swift: anorexia
Swift said in her 2020 Miss Americana Netflix documentary that she has battled with an eating disorder right through her outstanding career.
Swift didn't know at the time that she wasn't supposed to feel drained after a show:
"I thought that I was supposed to feel like I was going to pass out at the end of a show or in the middle of it."
2) Lily Collin: eating disorder
Even fame couldn't protect these celebrities with eating disorders. Lily Collins has worked very hard to be as healthy as she can be. For years, she had an eating disorder that caused her to restrict her food intake, eat too much and then throw up, and use laxatives and diet medications.
After portraying a character with anorexia in the 2017 movie 'To The Bone', she talked about her own problems as a teenager with an eating disorder.
3) Lily-Rose Depp: Anorexia
Lily Rose had anorexia for a long time, but now she's doing a lot better.
Her friends were scared by how skinny she was, and some of them were concerned that Lily-Rose Depp has anorexia. It turned out that they were right. The actress says that she had anorexia for a long time and that negative comments about her looks on social media make her sad.
4) Angelina Jolie: anorexia
Angelina Jolie went through a tough time in high school because of the way she looked.
She was picked on because she had full lips. Even though she wore braces and glasses, it didn't help, and people made fun of her for being too thin. She has said in interviews that she has anxiety and depression, but she hasn't talked about problems with eating disorders.
5) Bella Hadid: eating disorder
Bella Hadid said that she struggled with anorexia as a teenager.
The model talked about the meager lunches she brought to school and also talked about how her fight with an eating disorder had long-lasting effects on her.
"I can barely look at myself in the mirror even now because of that time in my life," she told a news source.
Her fight with anorexia began when a psychiatrist gave her Adderall to treat what he thought was attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
When you have an eating problem, you usually have a tough time with food and how you feel about your body. That can hurt both your mental and physical well-being.
Eating disorders weren't always talked about so freely, but thanks to these celebrities with eating disorders, they are now talked about more and understood better.
If you or somebody close to you is having trouble, it's important to get help from a professional or mental health expert before things get severe. The spotlight is on celebrities with eating disorders, but this is for anyone and everyone who wants to build a better relationship with food.
