Eating disorders present a challenge to clinicians in terms of diagnosis as well as treatment. Often patients fall between categories, being too medically ill for many psychiatrists and not fully understood by many primary care physicians. In Eating Disorders: A Guide to Medical Care and Complications, Philip S. Mehler, M.D. and Arnold E. Andersen, M.D. offer a hands-on, user-friendly, and comprehensive guide to the medical care and complications of eating disorders for primary care physicians and mental health professionals. The authors begin each chapter with a series of questions that are answered in the course of that chapter, using clinical vignettes where appropriate. - Back cover.
