Patients with eating disorders frequently believe that they aren't "sick enough" to require therapy, despite demonstrable and unmeasurable medical issues. They may have difficulty accepting rest, nutrition, and a support system to help them recover. Sick Enough provides patients, their families, and clinicians with a detailed, accessible assessment of the medical difficulties associated with eating disorders through realistic case presentations and a scientifically solid, engaging writing style. Dr. Gaudiani uses metaphor and patient-centered language to improve medical diagnosis and treatment, drive recovery, and recognize the lived experiences of people of all body shapes and sizes, all while strongly rejecting dieting culture.
