SPECIAL - Eating Disorders and the Risk of Suicide

Paved with Gold - The Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast

**Trigger warning: this episode contains discussions about suicide**
This is a special episode of Paved with Gold. September is Suicide Awareness Month and today marks World Suicide Prevention Day. We wanted to release a bonus episode that talks to the high risk of suicide for those living with eating disorders and busts some misconceptions about those who live with suicidal thoughts. We also included some practical tips that you can use if you are concerned about someone you love.
