Publisher's Summary
Our culture today seems to encourage an obsession with our appearance and low body weight, and a lot of that is thanks to the media. Eating disorders are, quite frankly, problems with the way a person eats. They can harm a person’s emotions, health, and even relationships. There are four main types of eating disorders in children and teens, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). Eating disorders often go overlooked in children and teens, but if left untreated, they can end up being deadly.
