There are calls for those who look after family members with eating disorders to be recognised, and paid, as carers.

Several have anonymously shared their experiences of being a carer and the financial and emotional toll it takes.
Eating Disorder Carer Support's Sarah Rowland, and former Eating Disorder Association chair Nicki Wilson, speak with Kathryn Ryan.
