Teens face powerful pressures to look a certain way. Body image is one of the most fragile areas to take hits on, especially if you're not pencil thin or the picture of athletic health. This volume talks candidly about eating disorders. It describes the different types of eating disorders, their prevalence in society, and what research suggests about causes and risk factors for having an eating disorder. Readers will learn how eating disorders are treated, the likelihood of recovery, and how people with eating disorders live with the disorder.
