Sara s eating disorder monster and her struggle to get help, Four Corners

More than a million Australians are living with an eating disorder. Since the pandemic, cases have exploded and patients are getting younger. Families are desperate for help, but have nowhere to go. Its mostly falling to them to keep their children alive, and some have lost a loved one to what they say is a broken system. Four Corners has spent months with these families as theyve struggled to find the right treatment for lifethreatening eating disorders, and uncovered a health system drastically unprepared to deal with this crisis.
