A Scots mum has warned parents to be aware of the hidden dangers that people with eating disorders face around Christmas time.
Speaking to the Daily Record about the experience she said: "It was like having another member of family that you weren't aware of and then suddenly became an intruder and you couldn't get rid of. It was like having the world's worst-behaved person in your house 24/7 and you didn't know how to get rid of them.
"Her behaviour was just ghastly, she wouldn't sit still Christmas meal and she didn't really want to eat.Top news stories today The mum says that though her daughter appeared better after being admitted to mental health services, she says that it didn't make Christmas easier.
