A vibrant graphic memoir full of dark humor, Nervosa is an insightful look into the torment of disordered eating that will be a source of comfort to others who struggle with their mental health.
With brutal honesty and witty sarcastic humor, Gold offers a remarkably candid exploration of the search for hope in the darkness..
And traces how her own life was irrevocably damaged by both the system and her own disorder.
In her vividly imagined retelling, Hayley Gold lays bare a callous medical system seemingly disinterested in the very patients it is supposed to treat.
Nervosa is a no-holds-barred, richly textured portrait of one young woman\'s experience.
And so those who suffer from it are belittled, or tragically misunderstood, not only by society but by the healthcare system meant to treat it.
It is often a puzzle for doctors, therapists, parents, and friends.
It is a debilitating illness, manifested in a distorted relationship with food, but which actually has more to do with issues of control.
It is not a phase, a fad, or a choice. --STARRED REVIEW, Foreword Reviews Anorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder.
