Eating disorders are common illnesses. Nearly 91% of surveyed collect women admitted to some form of dieting. What people are not aware of is that extreme dieting is one form of an eating disorder. Even more so, the illness can start at a very young age, with 41% of surveyed 3rd-grade girls wanting to be thinner. In extreme cases, eating disorders lead to death, and the illness has the second highest mortality rate of any other disorder. That's why in today's episode, we talked with Sabrina Skanga, Program Director at Eating Disorder Foundation.
