Synopsis

Pica is a complex and multifaceted disorder that affects a significant number of people in the UK. Despite its prevalence, there is a lack of understanding and awareness of Pica, both within the general public and among healthcare providers.

In this comprehensive book, the authors provide a thorough exploration of Pica, with a specific focus on the UK. Drawing on the latest research, they offer insights into the causes, risk factors, and health consequences of Pica, as well as the challenges and gaps in understanding and addressing this disorder.

The authors present a range of evidence-based recommendations for addressing Pica in the UK, including improving awareness and education, developing person-centred and culturally sensitive approaches to diagnosis and treatment, and increasing funding for research and support services.

With contributions from leading experts in the field, this book provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of Pica, and offers valuable insights and guidance for healthcare providers, policymakers, researchers, and people with Pica and their families. Whether you are a healthcare professional looking to improve your understanding and approach to Pica, or a person with Pica or their family member seeking information and support, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in this complex disorder.
