From binge-eating disorders to anorexia, eating disorders can decrease quality of life enormously, and can be deadly without intervention. In this episode Dr Max speaks to clinical psychologist Alina Vasilache, a Member of the American Academy of Eating Disorders, about who is affected, how parents can help their children and not enable them, how people with a binge-eating disorder can regain control over food, and much more.
