La Ventana Eating Disorder Programs: Helping Those in Need

by Staff Writer, Valley Scene Magazine

In the United States, as many as 10 million females and 1 million males are fighting a life and death battle with an eating disorder such as Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia Nervosa. Millions more are struggling with Binge Eating Disorder Because of the secretive nature, guilt, and shame associated with eating disorders, many cases are likely not to be reported. In addition, countless individuals struggle with body dissatisfaction and disordered eating attitudes and behaviors. For example, it has been shown that 80% of American women are unhappy with their appearance.
