- As a young man, Adam Bryce suffered from anorexia and since has endured a roller coaster road of a life now battling with severe depression. At thirty-eight, while he’s no longer starving himself to death, Adam is trying to understand what the disease anorexia is, the affect it has had on his life, and those around him. Now a father, Adam explores if his son could be pre-disposed to the illness. Adam talks to world-renowned expert Dr. Cynthia Bulik about the latest study on eating disorders and its genetic link.

A lot of people with ocd, depression, eating disorder's have unique thought patterns which have similarities (perfectionism, creativity, low self esteem, control). Many of these people can achieve a lot in a short period of time but are also likely to quit, withdraw. Interesting...
Yea!!
I have all of the below and I can attest that those people are high achievers and while sky seems to be the limit, they are in fact their own limitations...
wow short statement but so accurate
damn i had all 3
It’s a shame people don’t realise how EDs aren’t just about being skinny. When you feel your life is out of control it’s so easy to catch yourself controlling other parts of your life such as eating and exercising and it’s a hard hole to get out of. Respect to anyone who has managed to recover and those who havnt, I’m sure it will come soon enough. Stay strong guys and girls !! ❤️
Such a shame there is still such a stigma attached to MEN having eating disorders! Thank you for this upload! Now, perhaps, more men will share their stories and inspire others to do the same. 👍👍👍
I really hope he wins these fights and lives happily with his children and wife.
There's a deep hurt in his eyes. And having children under those circumstances. God poor babies. I have mental issues as well also and always wonder what negative outcome will it have on my children. Makes me sad.
Adam, so brave of you to speak out! Wishing you well on this long and difficult journey.
Can we stop shaming men for having eating disorders ,depression and being a rape victim cause people do that
Also if you have any problems in your life just remember suicide is never an option that will bring happiness so just remember someone will love you💕
Mad respect for this honest, raw episode 🤙🏽🤙🏽 keep fighting my man
Thank you so much for sharing this. You are a brave man who I admire!
"Whatever it was that made you discover that restricting made you feel better, that's the hook." Powerfully on-point and helps one empathize with all people with eating disorders. This is a statement that makes me really introspective....I have been having trouble around food and appetite for years, and those years all held depression and anxiety beyond compare. Eating disorders aren't just something teen girls have, I'm 58.
Mental and emotional disorders tend to morph from one to the next unless there is support and intervention. Adam really needs a community to support him and tools to delve into why? Therapy, OA, a Men’s group, somewhere he can be totally honest while being non judgmentally supported. Dr. Cynthia is amazing. Understanding and acknowledgement goes miles towards healing.
I found this documentary really interesting and informative. I appreciate seeing people who do not fit the stereotypical mold of anorexia.
Thank you for addressing this, spreading awareness and showing his story. This video is truthful and I appreciate it. God bless!❤
i totally understand his struggle im not (sick) thin so noone takes my bulimia serious but the illness is real and my demons are loud
This man is my ED doppelgänger. Every explanation he gives for what goes through his mind, his triggers, his massively larger worry for his child than for himself... boom. Twins. 💁🏽♀️ Even that we no longer look the stereotypical part. It's still very much there and distraction distraction distraction. He's got OCD and depression, anxiety -same. All of my diagnoses fall perfectly under ASD and the first question that ran through my mind was, "Is he autistic and doesn't know it?". Spidey senses are ablaze.
Suka banget nonton begini, banyak memberikan pelajaran hidup. Laki2 juga manusia stop stigma mereka harus tangguh dll 😌
Wish him all the very best
i believe in this, i’m in the same state of mind
Sometimes I feel like life isn’t worth living anymore
Has it gotten better now?
@@lifeofalma1177Why are you looking at eating disorders in men?
@@RagingBull721Cause I feel it gives you more perspective to learn about different things :)
The sore hips and back are the worsstttt
Awesome ♥️
How come AN ED only refers to skinny ppl or are ppl saying fat people are just dam greedy pigs? Surely obesity is an ED … My mate is 18stone, Im 7 stone at 5’7” .. how is it ok for them to say to me how skinny I am bla bla but nobody’s allowed to call my mate fat and tell her what damage she too is doing to herself ?!??????
Excellent point! Both sides are using food to abuse themselves (or you might say: exhibit their suffering… both ideas are true).
Such a big bowl of kiwifruit lol my mouth is tingling looking at it 😆😛
I sometimes walk too many miles..but I'm tall
SSRIs are life destroying, not "wonderful".
And now he's fat? 🙄
First world problems ... yawn
who said? Even third worlders experience this
you're swine -- it'd be different if you had an invisible disorder, huh? narcissistic waste of life.
I know you wrote this a long time ago, so hopefully you have learned more since then. Please know that this is a brain illness, people aren't choosing this because they have the luxury of time, or privilege. It isn't like that at all. People die from this every day. Try to think of it like any other physical illness.
I had anorexia in my early teens which I beat after almost a year. Then after two years I started suffering from depression and anxiety. Now at the age of 39 I'm suffering from what I believe to be ocd. I guess the anorexia was the start of my problem?
