NIMH Eating Disorders Publication

In 2008, The National Institute of Mental Health published a 26 page booklet on the various Eating Disorders. The book, written primarily to a layperson, provides a good background to the basics of the many Eating Disorders as they currently appear in the DSM-IV-TR.

The booklet can be viewed online by each individual chapter or as a whole, downloaded as a PDF and then printed for your students, or ordered in a paper format.

To view a specific chapter, simply click on the links below.
