Pieces
of a Puzzle
The
Link Between Eating Disorders
and ADD
ABOUT
THE BOOK
People
suffer daily from the symptoms of eating disorders. For some, eating
is not the only area of their life that is out-of-control. In this book,
Dr. Dukarm, an eating disorders specialist, focuses on the overlap between
eating disorders and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and points out
how diagnosing and treating both disorders can provide the missing pieces
of the puzzle that hold the key to recovery.
This book is divided into six sections, covering the spectrum from diagnosis
to treatment of both eating disorders and ADD. Each section contains
“guidelines” or specific action steps that the reader can
take. Participation is encouraged through directed questions and exercises.
