New paper! (open access) doi.org/10.1186/s403...
EDs & psychosis co-occur in different forms & research has been growing in this area. There's been no lived experience accounts in the literature & no clinical treatment guidance. This paper uses my experience as a case study to provide insight.

Honoured to have been a plenary speaker on harm reduction in eating disorder treatment for the International Conference on Eating Disorders (ICED) 2025 today! Wish I was there in person!

Image of plenary talk powerpoint. A Zoom photo of Rosiel Elwyn as the speaker is in the right hand corner. The text reads: "Patient-centred care and integrating patient recovery goals in harm reduction: A Lived Experience perspective of navigating liminality together" - Rosiel Elwyn, PhD Candidate, MProfPsych, BSocSci (Psych) (Hons), Lived Experience researcher". Below are two pictures. On the left, the silhouette of a person can be seen rowing out onto a lake at night under a clear starry sky, with the stars reflected on the water and a mountain in the distance. On the right, the silhouette of a person can be seen climbing a steep cliff, underneath a dark cloudy sky and a giant, luminous crescent moon.

The EDGI 2 study is working to uncover genes linked to risk of developing eating disorders - this could lead to breakthroughs in understanding EDs & can inform better treatment

Participation is confidential & takes 30 mins. Join: www.edgi2.org

Media tile for the EDGI2 study (Eating Disorders Genetics Initiative 2). A quote is written beside a photo of Rosiel Elwyn (living experience of longstanding anorexia nervosa and ARFID). The quote reads: 'I know the care I've experienced over the past two years is very different than it was to the treatment I received 10 years ago. There's a lot more understanding, and research informs these improvements" Media tile for the EDGI2 study (Eating Disorders Genetics Initiative 2). There is a photo of a young woman looking at the camera. The text reads: "If you've ever experienced symptoms of an eating disorder, your story can help researchers improve treatments & save lives.

Recently did the annual walk through of our totally normal publishing system for my undergraduate research methods students. Never fails to boggle their minds.
a slide showing the ridiculous process of publishing a journal article, highlighting how universities both pay for the work to be done and then pay to access the work.
