Hitting rock bottom from her own personal experience of losing a son gave Dr. Carolyn Ross a new meaning to her medical career. Ten years after his freshman year in college, her son died as a result of his depression, and it was a life-changing experience for Dr. Ross. At that point, she shifted her career to focus on mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, as well as addictions and eating disorders. When disruptive change occurs in our life, and if you don’t find that hook, it’s easy to fall into those eating disorders or addictions. Dr. Ross wrote her third book, The Food Addiction Recovery Workbook, to help people who are struggling with food and body image issues. She says we’re all victims in our lives of something but it doesn’t mean you have to stay as the victim. Understanding what’s wrong with you can lead you to understanding how you got there and start the healing.
