#011 - Dying to be Thin: Anorexia and Bulimia (Prof. Ulrike Schmidt) - a podcast by Danny Whittaker

Prof. Ulrike Schmidt joins us to discuss the three main eating disorders, anorexia, bulimia and binge eating.

Are eating disorders a illness peculiar to young white women, or is anybody susceptible? What causes somebody to develop an eating disorder? Is it all about looking good, or are there deeper issues at play? We discuss the stigma and misconceptions surrounding eating disorders, the long term physical consequences, and we even delve into the bizarre world of Pro-Ana and “Thinspiration” websites where eating disorders are both promoted and celebrated.
