Anorexia

by Rachel Lynette

Illness can be confusing, disturbing, and painful -- both emotionally and physically. This new series presents a simple, clear, accurate picture of causes and the latest treatments. It also examines how people often are able to manage and live with illness. Real-life examples and first-person accounts help put a human face on these topics.
