Rise in admissions for teenage eating disorders

More than 700,000 people in the UK are thought to be affected by eating disorders, and new figures say that it is a growing problem for teenagers.

They suggest that the number of hospital admissions for people in their teens has nearly doubled in the last three years.

The Royal College of Psychiatrists says this could be down to growing pressure from images on social media.
