About Eating Recovery Center Northbrook

The mental health crisis among our nation’s youth is no secret. The number of children and adolescents hospitalized for suicidal thoughts or attempts has more than doubled since 2008. And, young people ages 15-24 with anorexia have 10 times the risk of dying compared to their same age peers. Our treatment center in Northbrook, Illinois, provides comprehensive child and adolescent treatment to meet this growing need and help prevent the cycle of crisis intervention at hospitals and emergency rooms. Accredited by the Joint Commission, ERC Illinois operates numerous treatment centers in the Chicago area including downtown Chicago, Northbrook, Evanston, Oak Park and Oak Brook.

Eating disorders don’t always exist alone.👇

They often co-occur with other mental health conditions, such as:

➡️ anxiety disorders
➡️ depressive disorders
➡️ obsessive-compulsive disorder
➡️ substance use disorder
➡️ post-traumatic stress disorder

However, despite how common eating disorders are and how often they co-occur with other more recognized conditions, they are still often underdiagnosed, overlooked, and undertreated.

In honor of # MentalIllnessAwarenessWeek, we'd like to shed light on how important it is to bring eating disorders into the broader mental health conversation. 👏

The more we do, the closer we move towards a world where every struggle is met with understanding, compassion, and access to care. 💙

Recovery is about more than weight restoration. It’s about life restoration. 👏 👏

Recovery can help give you the freedom to:

✨ share meals with the people you love
✨ be present for the moments that matter
✨ reconnect with loved ones
✨ make plans without your eating disorder making the decisions
✨ find joy in things that have nothing to do with food or body image
✨ build a life where connection, memories, and experiences have more space

"If you know my story, you know it's a story about breakfast:

There was a time in my life when I convinced myself I just didn't like breakfast... That it was easy to skip because I 'wasn't a breakfast person.'

Then it became a game of how long I could go without eating breakfast... which turned into, maybe I can skip lunch too. And then, maybe... even dinner.

So when I tell you I woke up on a Thursday morning in Los Angeles, California, determined to make sure I got a famous breakfast burrito... I rannnnn and felt nothing but joy." ❤️🙏🏽

A gentle reminder to start your week... 🫶

A hard meal, difficult thought, or challenging day does not erase your progress. Please remember: one tough moment doesn’t define your recovery. 🙌

If the school year brings up hard feelings about your body, you're not alone. 🫶

It can be a lot:

➡️ comparison everywhere
➡️ appearance front and center
➡️ barely any privacy

That combination can create the perfect storm for body image distress.

If this is something you're experiencing, learn why it happens — plus a few helpful ways to find support. 💙
