Eating disorders are potentially life-threatening psychiatric illnesses commonly accompanied by serious medical problems. They typically appear during adolescence or early adulthood, a time when young people are heading to college or interviewing for a first job. Many people recover fully from eating disorders, but others become chronically ill, and symptoms can continue into middle age and beyond. Written by leading authorities in eatingdisorders research and treatment, Eating Disorders: What Everyone Needs to Know (R) answers common questions about eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, aswell as a newly described condition, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). Practical yet authoritative, the book defines the eating disorders, explains what we know about them based on the latest science, and describes how treatment works. Importantly, the book dispels common myths about eating disorders, such as the notion that they occur only amongst the affluent, that they affect only girls and women, or that they simply result from environmental factors such as the fashionindustry and society' s obsession with thinness. In reality, as the book explains, there is substantial evidence that eating disorders are brain-based illnesses that do not discriminate, and that they havebeen around for a very long time. Eating Disorders: What Everyone Needs to Know (R) is essential reading for those seeking authoritative and current information about these often misunderstood illnesses.

Ultimately, this text serves as the perfect psychoeducational volume to empower sufferers and their carers totake the necessary step(s) in the recovery process. >" -DL Daniel Le Grange, PhD, Benioff UCSF Professor in Children>' s Health, Department of Psychiatry, UCSF, CA, and Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry andBehavioral Neuroscience, The University of Chicago, Chicago, I"Written by a team of top clinician-researchers, this outstanding practical guide covers what eating disorders are and are not and what we know and don>' t know about them DS It delivers a clear and concise road map to the most effective evidence-based treatments and to finding help for you or your loved one. >" -DL Angela S.
