Many people do not know that there is such a thing as National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. On February 23-March 1 is NEDA week. This week is important for many reasons, yet is rarely acknowledged in our culture. Eating disorders are commonly looked down upon, and I feel a big reason is because they are misunderstood. […]

I thought I would start this post by relating how one of my favorite paintings by Pablo Picasso is similar to the issues many of my patients face. It is entitled ”Girl Before a Mirror.” The picture was painted by Picasso about his lover, Marie Therese Walter.
