“In my experience, no individual I've ever worked with has been well enough to be discharged from eating disorder treatment at a BMI of 15. Generally a BMI of 15 would raise concerns regarding cardiovascular stability, hormonal disruption, compromised immune function, [and] bone density loss if weight remains suppressed.”
