Synopsis:
For many people, watching what they eat and exercising are important components of healthy lifestyles. For others, however, these concerns become extreme. Some people develop serious disruptions in eating patterns, become fixated on food worries, and experience severe distress about body weight and shape. These obsessions are characteristic of eating disorders, which often first appear during adolescence or young adulthood. Eating Disorders Information for Teens, 4th Edition, explains how to recognize eating disorders, their diagnosis, and treatment; and provides guidelines for relapse prevention. Facts about medical consequences, co-occurring conditions, and other diseases that may be complicated by an eating disorder are also included. A special section reports on healthy weight management and exercise plans. This book is divided into parts and chapters. Parts focus on broad areas of interest; chapters are devoted to single topics within a part.
