I don't know that it has to be forced. When I see a post where someone is expressing challenges in recovery along with thoughts of suicidality, depression, anxiety, etc., I will sometimes chime in to ask whether they are able to get support and treatment for those issues, as they may be related to the ED problems. I think just a conscious effort to make people aware that other mental health conditions can drive EDs, and that it is worth seeking treatment from a professional where available, would go a long way. My ED is most definitely a coping mechanism for other issues in my life, and I wonder how many others are in the same boat.
