In this episode, Jenny and Harriet discuss the topic of the teenage brain and eating disorders, one of the topical sessions that Jenny runs regularly. We'll be thinking through the biology of the brain and how understanding it can help us better understand a teen's eating disorder, and most importantly how understanding the teen brain can help us support a teen with an eating disorder better.
