Omnigraphics' Teen Health Series Helping Young Adults Understand, Manage, and Avoid Serious Illness Young adults face health challenges that are vastly different from those of previous generations. While their parents benefited from new vaccines, antibiotics, and other medications, today's teens are learning that lifestyle choices also play a central role in health maintenance. The decisions they make and the habits they adopt form the foundation for lifelong wellness. Omnigraphics' Teen Health Series is a specially focused set of volumes within the highly acclaimed Health Reference Series. Each volume deals comprehensively with a topic selected according to the needs and interests of people in middle school and high school. According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, approximately eight million people in the U.S. have anorexia nervosa, bulimia, or other eating disorders. Eating disorders often develop during adolescence or young adulthood, but people of all ages can be affected. In addition, eating disorders affect females and males and all races and cultures. Eating disorders frequently co-occur with other mental health disorders, such as depression, substance abuse, and anxiety disorders. If left untreated, eating disorders can result in serious physical health complications. Eating Disorders Information for Teens, Second Edition provides updated information about anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and other eating disorders. It describes risk factors, health consequences, and co-occurring concerns, and it offers facts about the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of eating disorders. Body image, self-esteem, and media influences are also discussed, and the book provides information for developing healthy eating and exercise plans. It concludes with suggestions for additional reading and a directory of eating disorders organizations. Book jacket. Media > Book, [PU: Omnigraphics]<
