Synopsis:
Eating disorders present a challenge to clinicians in terms of diagnosis as well as treatment. This text is a hands-on, user-friendly guide to the medical care and complications of eating disorders for primary care physicians and mental health professionals. Each chapter begins with a series of questions that are answered in the course of that chapter, using clinical vignettes where appropriate. Chapter topics in the first portion of the book include team treatment, medical evaluation of the patient, principles of diagnosis and treatment, and nutritional rehabilitation. Subsequent chapters address potential complications, organized by organ system: gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, gynaecological, endocrinological, and oral and dental. The final chapters are concerned with special issues, such as athletes with eating disorders, obesity, medical tests, and health concerns for non-physicians.
