Synopsis

This activity introduces the three main types of eating disorders and outlines the signs and symptoms for each. These illnesses pose very serious health risks, and few who suffer with these diseases receive treatment. The slight bit of good news is that there are successful treatment plans that can help those who are seriously committed to their recovery.
