Atypical chronicles the struggles of three brave individuals battling mental health issues, particularly eating disorders. Through conversations about their struggles with their image, the audience is given insight into the extent of the silent battle fought by many around us. The story of Atypical reveals their trial and tribulation, but also their hope in their fight against body-shaming as it offers a glimpse into the progress in their individual journey of self-acceptance.
