Book about two girls with eating disorders?

Question : Book about two girls with eating disorders?
There was a book that I read five years ago, whose title I have been trying to remember. I haven’t been able to find it anywhere.

The book was about two girls with eating disorders, one with Anorexia- and the other with Bulimia-Nervosa.

Soon into the book, the two girls were put into a hospital together for treatment of their eating disorders.

The book follows their time in treatment, and also a short time when they are let out.

In the end, the girl with Bulimia is cured, and the girl with Anorexia dies.

Any thoughts would be very helpful. Thanks!

Answer by Zosh
There isn’t a published price list you can go to. It all depends upon the facility, the length of the stay, the treatment provided, the severity of the disorder, and probably 100 other things I can’t think of.

Check with a medical insurance company to see what they typically cover.

Male Eating Disorders

group therapy for eating disorders


It is estimated that 8 million people in the United States are suffering from an Eating Disorder, and of that number 10% are men. Personally, I am guessing that the percentage suffering that are men is far higher, but because of the old fashioned idea that this illness strikes only women, few men come forward to find the help they deserve. Right from its inception, this whole site has always been aimed at addressing Eating Disorders in everyone, but there are some issues that are specific to the male eating disorder community. As with all sufferers there has always been, and still is, an element of shame in being someone with an Eating Disorder (“I’m disgusting”, “look at what I do to myself”, “people will think I’m crazy”, etc.), but for men and the old misconception that they cannot suffer from an Eating Disorder, the shame they face is often worse. According to Arnold Andersen and the research he did for his book Males with Eating Disorders, while women who develop Eating Disorders feel fat before the onset of their disordered eating behaviors, typically they are near average weight. Men are more typically overweight medically before the development of the disorder. In addition, men who are binge eaters or compulsive overeaters may go undiagnosed more than women because of society’s willingness to accept an overeating and/or overweight man more-so than an overeating or overweight woman. Though it is more common for homosexual men to suffer from Eating Disorders such as

What is your opinion on “eating disorders” units in “state” mental hospital for those with no insurance?

Question : What is your opinion on “eating disorders” units in “state” mental hospital for those with no insurance?
For people like me that suffer from one of the many different types of eating disorders. I have neither the money nor the insurance to get into a treatment facility that will help me. I’ve tried turning to my local state mental hospital since I don’t have either any money or any type of insurance, but unfortunately the “do not” treat people with eating disorders. An eating disorder is both physical and psychological so why doesn’t the state accept it as a mental illnes?? In my research I’ve found that you either have to pay $ 1500.00 a “day” to get into a treatement center or have good health insurance. If you don’t have either there’s no place for you to go and I want to change that. What do you think about putting and eating disorders unit in a “state” run facility so even..”poor”…people suffering from an eating disorder have somewhere to go?

Spicy foods, anxiety, worries about work or money, or relationships. You could try to avoid them, but doing some relaxation exercises before bed, or get a good sleep aid to help you. Personally, I used to get insomnia a lot, but then when I went on Zoloft for anxiety, my insomnia went away.
