A wonderful essay
Back when I first started talking about eating disorders as a brain disorder and the functional role of food in repairing eating disordered thoughts I rarely heard anything good from patients. That has changed. More and more, I am getting mail and comments from patients who are thankful to have a new way of looking at their illness and appreciative of the implications of eating disorders truly being a biologically based illness.

Laura, I love this!
ReplyDeleteOne suggestion though, for those of us with aging eyes...could it be posted in a larger font?
Thanks.
