Summary

"It is normal for people to feel insecure about their bodies sometimes; nobody is perfect. For some people, however, body image can become an obsession, leading to a possible eating disorder. Not eating at all or eating too much are both eating disorders when they occur on a regular basis. Eating disorders are both physical and mental conditions. Thankfully, treatment is available, helping sufferers lead healthier lives. The lives of millions of kids are affected by mental illness. And yet it's all too common for kids to feel like they are alone with their problems. Whether you're seeking information for family, friends, or yourself, these books help explain the challenges faced by people with mental disorders."--, Publisher's website
