RAISING TEENS:
Eating Disorders have become an enormous mental and physical health concern in this era, for both young men and women. An eating disorder is not something someone can "just get over". It is not just about weight loss. It is not a form of manipulation or a game. Those who struggle with an eating disorder are often plagued with feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, depression, and loneliness.
