Society can do many things to prevent eating disorders. In societies where looks are highly valued, there are oustandingly more cases of eating disorders. People can stop focusing so much on looking thin and being beautiful and "perfect", and than can help to alleviate many of the causes of eating disorders. Also, ending bullying and teasing (especially about looks and weight) can help a lot, too.

It is very difficult to stop eating disorders from getting worse, and it usually cannot be done by a single person. Instead, it is best to get the person who suffers from the eating disordr professional medical help. There, they can help him or her with probelms both medically and mentally to aid in recovery.

  • There are many therapies and counseling(s) for anorexics and bulimia.
  • As a society people can open more therapies or remind anorexics how bad it is.
  • The media can change the potentially harmful view of extreme thinness as good, instead promoting healthy bodies.
  • People can stop teasing or judging people about their bodies.
