The document discusses eating disorders and a therapist's new book on the topic. It notes that over 10 million Americans suffer from anorexia or bulimia, which are the two most common eating disorders. The therapist, Erica Ives, has suffered from and recovered from an eating disorder herself. Her book aims to educate readers on what eating disorders look like and how to help those suffering from them. Ives notes that eating disorders allow people to communicate feelings they can't express otherwise, and that expanding knowledge of the disorders can help identify early signs and support recovery.
