“It’s never ending and overwhelmingly difficult”: a mixed-methods survey of the impact of caregiving for a loved one with an eating disorder in New Zealand
NZ caregivers reported ongoing effects related to caregiving even when the person with the ED had recovered. NZ caregivers experience a high level of distress and burden that can persist once recovery is achieved. Comprehensive ED support should include interventions to improve caregivers' wellbeing.
