Despite the national rise of bulimia, an eating disorder that can be fatal, it is still often perceived of as a joke--a faddish illness that only strikes rich WASP girls, models, or actresses. We can blame Hollywood, the media, and our own ignorance for this misconception about an illness that affects both men and women, rich and poor, with no regard to race (it is not a "white girl's disease"), and has few visible symptoms. Michelle Blair's Inside Out interviews women and men struggling with bulimia, who share insights into how the disorder affects both their own lives and their relationships with family and friends. An intimate look at a little-understood disease, this is recommended for larger consumer health collections. Aud: H, C, P. (J. Asala)
