Eating disorers among young people 以此为题写一篇英语作文

Only a tiny proportion (between 5% and 10%) of young people with mental health disorders are in contact with helping agencies.Most mental health disorders in adolescents are unrecognised and untreated as indicated previously,this means that treatment is only offered once the illness has progressed to its most severe stages.In Ireland,this is true of eating disorders and other mental illnesses.
To give an indication of the unmet demand for services,Bodywhys receives 500 calls to its helpline and 4,500 visitors to its website every month.About half of these contacts are made directly by people with eating disorders (most of the remainder are contacts by family / friends of people with eating disorders).Half of the people with eating disorders who contact Bodywhys are between the ages of 10-24.
