1 Comment A few weeks ago, I posted on the draft criteria for eating disorders proposed for the DSM-V, and I promised you my thoughts on the changes (or lack thereof).

Eating Disorders — Bulimia and Anorexia by Lisa Frederiksen Healthy Living Professional

Posted Wed 02 Nov 2011 1:58pm by Lisa Frederiksen As someone who was anorexic for a year and then bulimic for eleven years back in the late 1960’s and throughout the decade of the 1970’s, I can attest to just how far treatment of eating disorders has come.
