Dr. Emily Massey answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

ED Recovery: It depends on severity (whether need hospitalization) how motivated you are to maintain your recovery, whether you have time to attend necessary medical and therapy appointments, whether college might help to distract you from remaining eating-disordered thinking, whether you have a strong interpersonal support system at school (non-eating-disordered / body-positive) friends or family nearby, etc.
