Part 1 ? Eating disorders used to be seen as a young woman?s disease. Now, more and more men and boys are dying to be thin, too. Carolyn Jarvis takes us into the dark world of eating disorders ? where food is the enemy and every day is a fight for survival. Part 2 ? We look at the shocking statistics, showing eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness. But beneath the facts and figures are the dramatic stories of young lives cut short and grieving families who say the system let them down. Part 3 ? With deadly eating disorders on the rise and the demand for treatment growing ? we ask the question ? is our health care system keeping up?
