	Helping a Friend: With an Eating Disorder
		While dieting is an American obsession some of the difference between an eating disorder and the culturally driven obsession with dieting lies in the amount of a person’s preoccupation with food and the lengths they will go to control their weight and food consumption.
		There is a lot of shame attached to having an eating disorder and as a result individuals with an eating disorder can be pretty defensive about their eating- just as weight and food consumption is a sensitive topic for many people.
		In the end, eating disorders aren’t as much about weight or how much or how little the person has eaten as it is about becoming trapped into relying on food and weight as the basis for how a person feels about themselves.

	eMedicine - Eating Disorder: Pica : Article by Cynthia R Ellis, MD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		Background: Pica is an eating disorder typically defined as the persistent eating of nonnutritive substances for a period of at least 1 month at an age in which this behavior is developmentally inappropriate (eg, >18-24 mo).
		Whether the iron deficiency prompted the eating of clay or the inhibition of iron absorption caused by the ingestion of clay produced the iron deficiency is not known.
		Underlying biochemical disorder: The association of pica, iron deficiency, and a number of pathophysiologic states with decreased activity of the dopamine system has raised the possibility of a correlation between diminished dopaminergic neurotransmission and the expression and maintenance of pica; however, specific pathogenesis resulting from any underlying biochemical disorders has not been identified empirically.
