LEE’S SUMMIT, Mo. — Eating disorders are deadlier than any other mental illness. The disorders can result in heart attacks and organ failure, but there’s also a high risk of suicide.

In junior high, friends noticed that Emily Heim was going to the restroom during lunch. They were concerned she was purging. The diagnosis of bulimia came a year later. The Lee’s Summit girl received treatment, but her mom says it was never enough. Insurance limited the days Emily could spend in a treatment center.

“They get you stable and it’s like a band-aid fix, but they really don’t get at the root of the problem,” says Suzi Heim.

Behind Emily’s smile, an agonizing struggle with bulimia and also anorexia went on for seven years.

“I think she came to a point she was just really, really worn out and exhausted,” says Suzi.

(CNN) — Emergency contraception known as the “morning-after pill” can be sold over-the-counter to minors, a federal appeals court in New York decided on Wednesday.

A generic two-pill version could soon be available without a prescription or any age restrictions, according to an order by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit.

But the three-judge panel separately blocked unrestricted sales of a newer, different Plan B one-pill version, until it can further consider the matter.

The Obama administration has been criticized by some women’s rights groups for trying to stop contraception sales to underage females.

Some of those groups applauded the court’s order.

OLATHE, Kan. — A Hepatitis A outbreak remains at 30 people, all of them in western states. The outbreak is linked to a frozen mix of berries and pomegranate seeds sold at Costco. Most people infected reported eating “Townsend Farms Organic Anti-Oxidant Blend.”

A Missouri official tells us they’re waiting on a distribution list to see if it was sold in the state, while a Kansas official says at this time, they don’t know of any being sold in Kansas.

But Hepatitis A is always around. The Johnson County Health Department says it had one case confirmed today, and it is likely not linked to the outbreak. Hepatitis A is spread when people eat food that’s contaminated with fecal matter. It can be two weeks or longer before a person has symptoms.
