Eating Disorders

Plot

This volume explores the facts about eating disorders: who suffers from them, what does and doesn't contribute to their development, and the path to recovery. Chapters look at the effects of media on body image; the role of chemical and genetic factors; and the dangerous cycle of eating and obsessive exercise. Discussions on the spiritual component and the importance of family are included, as well as the personal account of one person's struggle with an eating disorder.
