Description

Males, long thought to make up just 1 in 10 eating disorder cases, require help in ever greater numbers. Latest research indicates males represent up to a third of those identified with anorexia and bulimia, half with binge eating, and the majority with muscle dysmorphia. To identify and treat males, it takes a complete re-think of what you assume eating disorders look like and how to assist those who are struggling with the deadliest mental illness in the DSM.
