Anorexia

Lifetime desire to be thinner starts at just 10 years old for girls GIRLS start wanting to be thin at the age of ten, and half of 11 to 16-year-olds restrict what they eat to stay slim, a survey of young women reveals.

First Scots facility dedicated to eating disorders opens THE first dedicated unit in Scotland, aimed at treating patients suffering from anorexia, bulimia and other eating disorders, was officially opened in Aberdeen yesterday by Health Minister Shona Robison.

Scotland's first anorexia unit to open PATIENTS suffering from severe eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia would be treated at Scotland's first dedicated unit under plans revealed yesterday.

In her early forties, she was a single mum with a teenage daughter. She worked full-time and also helped her mother care for her sick father. She wasn't a big socialiser, but was close to her family. Had you looked closer, though, you might have seen the cracks.
