​

The Eatingdisorder Association - earlier IKS - was founded in 1987 by women who had a personal history of eating disorders. Today, we are a nationwide organization with several local departments and a substantial number of members. Everyone can be a member.  Our organization is primarily a self-help organization. It is very rewarding, in our  experience, to meet people with similar problems for mutual support while working one's way out of the eating disorder. Self-help may be a supplement or an alternative to therapy.

​​

Our aims are:

​​

• To support and aid people with an eating disorder, as well as their relatives and friends
