Eating disorders\u2014anorexia, bulimia and binge eating\u2014are complex and misunderstood mental illnesses, influenced by genetic, psychological, social and cultural factors. They are not driven by body image or peer pressure, but are triggered by them.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3964744\" data-originallang=\"en\">Anorexia patients have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness, leading to 1,500 deaths per year. Only 50% of the victims fully recover and only a patchwork of specialized treatment exists across Canada, for example, 20 dedicated beds in British Columbia but zero in Alberta. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3964745\" data-originallang=\"en\">Patients require specialized and robust care from families, doctors, hospitals, treatment centres, researchers and governments. This study is the first step to making this dream a reality.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3964742\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, en novembre 2013, j'ai pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 au comit\u00e9 de la condition f\u00e9minine une motion, qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9e, dans le but d'\u00e9tudier les r\u00e9percussions, le traitement et la nature des troubles de l'alimentation au Canada, en mettant l'accent sur les femmes et les filles, qui repr\u00e9sentent 80 % des personnes qui en sont atteintes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3964743\" data-originallang=\"en\">Durant la Semaine des troubles de l'alimentation, certains d\u00e9tails troublants doivent \u00eatre signal\u00e9s. Ces troubles \u2014 l'anorexie, la boulimie et la fr\u00e9n\u00e9sie alimentaire \u2014 sont des maladies mentales complexes et m\u00e9connues, influenc\u00e9es par des facteurs g\u00e9n\u00e9tiques, psychologiques, sociaux et culturels. L'image corporelle ou la pression des pairs ne sont pas la cause de ces troubles, mais elles les d\u00e9clenchent.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3964744\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le taux de mortalit\u00e9 chez les personnes atteintes d'anorexie est plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 que pour toute autre maladie mentale, et ce trouble cause 1 500 d\u00e9c\u00e8s par ann\u00e9e. Seulement 50 % des personnes atteintes s'en remettent compl\u00e8tement. De plus, les services sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9s offerts au Canada varient selon les r\u00e9gions: par exemple, il y a 20 places pr\u00e9vues en Colombie-Britannique, mais aucune en Alberta.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3964745\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les patients ont besoin de soins sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9s et solides de la part de leur famille, des m\u00e9decins, des h\u00f4pitaux, des centres de traitement, des chercheurs et des gouvernements. Cette \u00e9tude est la premi\u00e8re \u00e9tape \u00e0 franchir pour que ce r\u00eave devienne une r\u00e9alit\u00e9.</p>"
