devastating HBO documentary THIN

Posted by Dr. Bob on October 26, 2006, at 0:57:07

Hi, everyone,
I just wanted to pass this on:
> Eating disorders affect five million people in the U.S., and more than 10% of those diagnosed with anorexia nervosa will die from the disease. Seeking to put a human face on these sobering statistics, acclaimed photographer Lauren Greenfield went inside a Florida treatment center to tell the stories of four women who are literally dying to be thin. The devastating HBO documentary THIN reveals what she found there - and explores the issues underlying their illness. Premieres Tuesday, November 14 at 9pm.

A caution from Dr. Beth Steinhauer is that people who are actively restricting their eating, or who still are attempting to lose weight, might be triggered by images of severely underweight people.
If any of you do watch it, I'd be interested in your reactions.
Bob
