Sick Enough: A Guide to the Medical Complications of Eating Disorders 1st Edition ISBN 9780815382454

Patients with eating disorders frequently believe that they aren’t “sick enough” to require therapy, despite demonstrable and unmeasurable medical issues. They may have difficulty accepting rest, nutrition, and a support system to help them recover. Sick Enough provides patients, their families, and clinicians with a detailed, accessible assessment of the medical difficulties associated with eating disorders through realistic case presentations and a scientifically solid, engaging writing style. Dr. Gaudiani uses metaphor and patient-centered language to improve medical diagnosis and treatment, drive recovery, and recognize the lived experiences of people of all body shapes and sizes, all while strongly rejecting dieting culture.
