Diploma in EATING DISORDERS.
"Eating disorders are serious mental illness, not lifestyle choices.”
Eating disorders have become more prevalent and are increasing at a significant rate. Some of the major issues such as chronic dieting, obsessive exercise, and weight preoccupation have become major concerns and their effective treatment has to take into account many different factors that are very complex. In addition to this, with more and more people facing difficulties in the area of eating disorders, the urgency to have a multi-dimensional approach to understand and treat them has become ever more important.
