Eating disorders - a mental illness that some may be surprised to see described as such.  Many would think this was a purely physical illness, but that is a true misconception that can lead to much confusion, lack of awareness and understanding on how to address this issue in our society.  What is an eating disorder, who do they affect and where to they come from?  Part self testimonial, and part interview giving information about this topic, if you or someone you know is suffering from an eating disorder, then this is an episode you need to hear.  I sit down with ANEB Quebec's (Anorexie & Boulimie Québec) Ms. Josée Lavigne to get you the answers, and hopefully raise awareness and some empathy and understanding about this subject.  But above all, to give you the courage to seek the help you need, and the hope to keep going in your journey if you have an eating disorder.
