HEALING 101: Understanding anorexia with Dr Michael Strober

On today's healing one day one, I am talking to Dr. Michael Strober, a distinguished professor of psychiatry and the director of the Eating Disorders Program at the Neuropsychiatric Institute since 1982. His research centres on risk factors and eating disorders and the long term course outcome and treatment of them. As someone who has suffered from an eating disorder myself, this is an episode I was very keen to do.

We discuss what to do if you think someone is on the verge of an eating disorder and why someone perhaps suffers from the disorder in the first place. This is a fascinating HEALING 101 with one of the most interesting men I've ever had the pleasure of talking to.
