Synopsis:
The physical and psychological toll of eating disorders is high. Suicide, depression, and severe anxiety are common, and eating disorders can also lead to complications such as cardiac arrhythmia, cognitive impairment, osteoporosis, infertility, or even death. Furthermore, estimates suggest that only one in ten people with an eating disorder receives treatment, even though these diseases can be treated successfully. Eating Disorders Sourcebook, 4th Edition, provides information about anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and other eating disorders and related concerns. It explains the factors that put people at risk for developing eating disorders, and it discusses the adverse effects and the methods used to prevent, diagnose, and treat these disorders.
