Book Synopsis Eating Disorders by : Toney Allman
Book excerpt: The National Institute of Mental Health cites anorexia nervosa with the highest mortality rate of any mental disorder. Restricted eating, emaciation, relentless pursuit of thinness, fear of gaining weight, and distorted body image are just a few symptoms of this condition. Eating disorders affect both men and women, however, women are affected two and a half times more than men. This necessary resource examines issues surrounding various eating disorders. Readers learn about the causes of eating disorders, how to diagnose them, and what types of treatments are available.
