Books on eating disorders
At Amazon.com, you can find literally hundreds of other titles. These are just the books out there that I have read (
), am in the process of reading (*), or books that other eating disorder patients I've met have said helped them. Some books are of general interest, others are more specific to one or more individual disorders. Please use the submissions page if you have any other book recommendations!
Unfortunately, there are no books specifically about ED-NOS out there that I know of, although they do sometimes refer to "other eating disorders." It might be helpful to read books about the "specified" eating disorder which your own "not specified" one most closely resembles.
