PATRICIA PITTS, FOUNDER, CEO THE BELLA VITA, LOS ANGELES EPISODE # 2: MANOREXIA: AN EPIDEMIC: In the past five years at The Bella Vita Eating Disorder programs, the clinic has witnessed that treatment of boys and men for this eating disorder has doubled. A Harvard study in December 2007 reported that 25% of those with eating disorders in America were men. Also covered, the misconceptions about eating disorders, particularly Manorexia. The Body Politics’ “DYING TO BE THIN” series will address and explore America’s continued societal pressure ON TEENS, women, AND MEN of all ages to meet unrealistic standards of body perfection and weight–––giving rise to life-threatening eating disorders, BODY IMAGE DISORDERS, and AN increasing suicide rate among YOUNG WOMEN, MEN, AND THE ELDERLY. The Body Politics' "Dying to Be Thin Series" features Dr. Patricia Pitts, one of the nations' pioneering Eating Disorder Experts, and CEO of The Bella Vita: “A Beautiful Life” Psychology Group Inc, in Los Angeles.
