Eating disorder research defunded despite MAHA focus on chronic conditions Experts on eating disorders like anorexia worry that research funding cuts mean patients won't get the care they need.

Eating disorders are among the deadliest mental health conditions & they often become chronic.

Yet Trump’s HHS is cutting eating disorder research & the MAHA report doesn’t mention them.

This isn’t just suppressing science - it’s a decision that will cost lives.

Women comprise up to 80% of psychology graduate students, yet women represent 65.1% of assistant professorships, 56.5% of associate professorships, and 42.8% of full professorships. These numbers are a lot worse at the intersection of gender x race. 1/4
