| Abstract | Often appearing during the teen or young adult years, eating disorders are illnesses that cause serious disturbances to the diet, such as eating much less or much more than is healthy. While eating disorders are treatable, if left untreated they can cause serious health complications and can even be life-threatening. Readers learn about the signs and symptoms of eating disorders and how they affect the body and mind. The author shares information on getting help and coping with an eating disorder, as well as developing a healthy body image. |
