Abstract:
It's confusing and scary when someone seems to be choosing not to eat, but what's at work inside them is more than a decision. Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions, and those with anorexia and bulimia need help and compassion, not tough love. Annotated quotes, engaging graphic elements, and sidebars help readers learn about the many causes and symptoms of these eating disorders, as well as the medical issues they can cause. Treatment outcomes are also covered, along with anecdotes of hope from those who have survived. Help your readers understand these two most deadly eating disorders, and provide those struggling with these disorders positive guidance for a better life.
