Eating Disorders

The chapter on Eating Disorders covers anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder. Each illness is laid out in an easy to follow format. Each illness starts with diagnostic criteria, differential diagoses to look out for, risk factors, and labs to consider when making a diagnosis and everything you would need to begin the diagnostic process. Then each section suggests screening tools to assist you with recording severity level and record progress of the illness. The final section then talks about both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment of the disorder.
