So, yes students only will need to have studied one eating disorder and it could be any eating disorder. Questions will be set on an eating disorder rather than a named disorder. This is different from the psychopathology section on Unit 4 where there will be one question for each of the three disorders. Cara Hello Linda

Am I right in thinking only ONE of these illnesses have to be covered? Are the students ok to focus on one of these areas or will there be questions on all of them?
