Join us as we look at the Epidemic of Eating Disorders. They are often shunned by the society and most of the victims don't understand what they are going through. Millions of Americans suffer from an eating disorder. Unhealthy attitudes and behaviors about food and body image are the culprits. Whether it is Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, or Binge Eating Disorder... millions suffer and they are often shunned by the society.
With the help of Linda Leighton, the Nurse Manager of the Eating Disorder Unit at the Somerset Medical Center, we look at the basis of the problem and how we, as a society, feed the problem. The unhealthy and unnatural images we are bombarded with everyday has an immense effect on those who cannot regulate their self-esteem.
Tune-in as OPEN FORUM looks into this epidemic that can turn deadly when the right type of help is not sought after in a timely manner.
