Can you recover from it?
When Alice Kingsley was 10, she was a happy, easy-going, lively child. But then at the age of 11, she started to develop little rituals which turned into severe obsessive compulsive disorder. At 14, she developed anorexia.
Now, as Alice begins to study medicine at university, she and her mother Jo have written a book about their battle with the condition.
They join Jenni along with Prof Janet Treasure, Professor of psychiatry at Kings College London and Dr Jill Welbourne, a patron of the Eating Disorders Association to discuss to what extent it is possible to overcome anorexia.
Alice in the Looking Glass: A Mother and Daughter's Experience of Anorexia by Jo Kingsley and Alice Kingsley, published by Piatkus Books - ISBN: 0749926376
