Nowhere to Belong : Tales of an Extravagant Stranger

Obesity has been qualified as a medical illness, which must be treated by qualified doctors and trained counsellors.

Obesity has become a world-wide epidemic that threatens to wipe out progress in fighting cancer, heart disease and other ailments.

In this seminal work, Dr Jepson shows that obesity is a medical illness and that accurate diagnosis of the cause of obesity by trained doctors and counsellors experienced in the subject is imperative.

As Dr Jepson states, "without a diagnosis there can be no proper treatment".

This book will cover the following areas: Signs; Symptoms; Etiology; Diagnosis; Treatment: cognitive and behavioural therapy, pharmacological therapy; Prognosis.
