About this listen
This is the story of a beautiful, young woman — a talented athlete and musician, raised in a loving home, surrounded by friends — undermined by a ruthless inner voice that claimed her body and her spirit. Emilee: The Story of a Girl and Her Family Hijacked by Anorexia reveals the cracks in our health care system, the institutions we are taught to trust, as well as our own prejudices and misinformation about eating disorders, mental illness, and addiction.
Through the use of parallel narrative, Linda and John Mazur provide an intimate and realistic account of how their world was turned upside down by anorexia nervosa. A must-listen for physicians, therapists, and social workers, or anyone who wants to learn more about how to respond more compassionately to families and patients caught in the web of this cruel disease.

Breaking down the stigma and ignorance around the dangers of eating disorders will help encourage people to seek help earlier which gives best chance of recovery.
The battles faced by this family to get appropriate help for an adult who is incapable of making the right decisions for his/her own well-being are still ongoing today.
Hopefully greater awareness & lobbying will deal with the problems within our medical, legal & insurance systems which hamper the ability of someone with an illogical brain disorder to receive the best mental & physical health outcomes 🙏🏼
Powerful but heartbreaking story of the true challenges & complexities of eating disorders
