Social media isn’t just shaping conversations—it’s shaping recovery.
Recent findings reveal that 82% of individuals reported engaging in disordered eating behaviors after exposure to body-focused social media content, while 85% of clinicians have seen symptoms worsen as a result of what their clients encounter online.
The issue isn’t simply screen time. It’s the harmful content people are being shown—and how difficult it can be to avoid.
For teens, the impact is even greater.
At Unbound Recovery, we see firsthand how social media can influence body image, self-worth, and eating disorder recovery. That’s why awareness, education, and supportive communities matter more than ever.
Recovery thrives in environments that promote healing—not comparison.
If you or someone you love is struggling, know that help is available, and recovery is possible. 💙
