She has two older brothers. Her mother has been on anxiety medication for several years. • She also reports that she often feels down (depressed) and has felt that way for most of her adult life. • As you question her, you find out that she was sexually abused by her brother at the age of 9 and has never told anyone except you. She appears to be very upset, depressed, and angry about this abuse. • She also reports that she often binges on food and sometimes she literally feels like she can’t control her eating. She does not purge; however, she does diet frequently when she gains too much weight.
