Our Final Year Project (FYP) is an audio documentary detailing the life of people with eating disorders and their experience going through such an ordeal. The question here is about how a person can survive an eating disorder and whether a person is able to walk out of the disorder completely. We would also like to look at the types of medical help in Singapore and how accessible it is for eating disorder patients seeking help to recover. Therefore, the objective of our FYP is to spread awareness about how serious a problem an eating disorder is and what repercussions it can have on an individual’s health, emotional well-being and social life. Another purpose of our project is to give hope to people struggling with eating disorders that they can, through the experience of another, find the strength to seek help and recover.
