Manage episode 464007859 series 2152231
Anorexia nervosa is a serious and complex mental health disorder marked by a distorted body image and an intense fear of weight gain. Often misunderstood, anorexia isn't about food or vanity – it stems from biological, psychological, and social factors and can affect anyone. What are the warning signs? And how can recovery be supported? We spoke with Kamryn Eddy, PhD, co-director of the Eating Disorders Clinical and Research Program at Massachusetts General Hospital and associate professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School, about how to recognize the signs of anorexia, supporting loved ones, emerging treatments options, and the crucial role of hope in recovery.
