Anorexia

📖 The Scoop

For teens, particularly, but not exclusively, girls, the mantra in American culture to be “thin” helps propel millions of young people down the road to an eating disorder. Of all the eating disorders, anorexia is perhaps the best known. Anorexia is packed with important information on such topics as who gets anorexia, the causes and signs, risk factors, the obsession with thinness in our society, and the diagnosis and treatment of the disorder. The dual components of the book, both the material for research and reports, and the supportive information on how to deal with anorexia if you or someone you know has it, make it especially valuable.
