Anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating, once considered rare disorders, are now virtually commonplace. Victims of anorexia and bulimia have an intense fear of gaining weight, and starve or purge thmselves by forced vomiting or the use of laxatives. Binge eating, or compulsive overeating, is simmilar to bulimia except that binge eaters do not purge thmselves of food. This book fully explores the symptoms and history of these eating disorders, presents treatment options available, and includes personal stories of people who have strugged with eating disorders.
