Richard and Adam

Watch: Men get eating disorders too

Richard Webb from Walsall and Adam Rhodes from Derby both have eating disorders and are patients at The Woodbourne Priory in Edgbaston. BBC WM's Nadine Towell went to meet them. Click the link, below, to watch the video.

When we talk of eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia we often assume that it's a female problem. But a recent study's revealed that at least ten per cent of people with eating disorders are male. And it seems the number of cases being diagnosed in the West Midlands and beyond is constantly rising.
