Not too long ago I ran an article about Anorexia Nervosa. You can read it here. For me, reading about something is not the same as seeing something to help me try to understand a topic like Anorexia Nervosa.
What follows is the story of Emily and her battle with Anorexia Nervosa. You will learn about her upbringing and what sent her into the downward spiral you will view in the video. It’s a gritty look at what her life has become and the impact it has had on her family. The show will end with an intervention as the family comes together in hopes of getting Emily the help she so desperately needs.
This is “reality tv” and some may not be comfortable with that. I believe however that viewing a video like this can help us understand the dynamics that drive a person to potentially ending their own life.
