will suffer from anorexia and bulimia at some point in their lives.
Additional statistics suggest that 25 million more suffer from
binge eating and other related behaviors. The overwhelming majority
of individuals who suffer from eating disorders are girls and young
women between the ages of 12 and 25, but young males are not immune
to these addictions and the statistics grow more alarming every
day. Eating disorders affect not only those who suffer from them,

self-destructive addictions. In this book, Greene examines the

how to overcome them. The author looks at how eating disorders are
defined, how common they are, and how they are tied into behavioral
addictions. In addition to explaining how and why certain people
suffer from these compulsions, this book looks at: .Social and
Cultural Pressures .High Risk Groups .Myths and Stereotypes .Health
Repercussions .Methods of Prevention .Intervention Strategies
.Treatment Options .Recovery Intended to serve as a comprehensive
guide, this book also includes a list of resources for teens and
their parents. Drawing on input from experts in the field, as well
as real-life stories, Eating Disorders: The Ultimate Teen Guide

affliction."
