Recovery as a process: Exploring definitions of recovery in the context of eating-disorder-related social media forums.

Author
Abstract
:

Online forums related to eating disorders (EDs) represent sources of support for recovery, and comments on these platforms might therefore highlight aspects of recovery that have been previously neglected in research. Reddit, an online discussion platform, hosts several ED-related forums. Due to the unique benefits of examining ED-related social media comments, we aimed to use a qualitative approach to conduct an exploratory study to examine users' conceptualizations of recovery from an ED.
