Anorexia – a survivor’s story

Intelligent Health by Dr Max
About this episode

At just 16, Yasmeen has gone through a lot. A recovering anorexic, she tells us the factors that contributed to her developing anorexia, how she managed to hide it from her parents and even doctors, and why she so vehemently resisted help. She talks us through her journey to recovery, as well as pitfalls she expects to deal with in the future. Joining Dr Max and Yasmeen in the studio is Yasmeen’s own psychologist, Alina Vasilache, who tells us more about the therapy side.
