The disorder can cause intense fear, confusion and guilt in sufferers and in the family and friends who try to understand and help them.
Drawing on long experience, Dr Ayton explains the importance of nutrition. She covers what is known about the physical and psychological effects of starvation and about the process of recovery. The book offers examples of dietary "prescriptions", menu plans and recovery strategies.
It brings together pharmacological, psychological and nutritional treatment options and shows how an individual can achieve a balance between them. It is a practical book meant to help sufferers and carers make informed choices.
