Recent figures suggest that as many as 1.6 million people in the UK are affected by some form of eating disorder. These disorders range from the more commonly known anorexia and bulimia to the lesser known, but equally as damaging, diabulima and orthorexia. This book explores the signs, symptoms and effects of eating disorders. It also raises debates surrounding the influence of the media; the morality of pro-ana and pro-mia websites and the disturbing trend of social media fuelled ëthinsporationí. We also consider thought-provoking and challenging issues such as whether anorexic patients should be force-fed when they become severely ill and the morality of the talent scouts who frequent eating disorder clinics looking for potential models. The information comes from a wide range of sources and includes government reports and statistics, newspaper reports, features, magazine articles and surveys, literature from lobby groups and charitable organisations.
