Claudia Hammond meets two more finalists in the All in the Mind 25th anniversary awards.

Claudia Hammond meets two finalists in the All in the Mind 25th anniversary awards: the mother of a young woman with anorexia and a unique sanctuary for the suicidal in London.

Claudia Hammond meets two more finalists in the All in the Mind 25th anniversary awards.
She talks to a mother who's been nominated by her daughter with anorexia. For years she has tried to help her, staying up at night to check her pulse and as her daughter put it "even when I was a bag of bones, all pointy-edged and cold she'd sit and cuddle me". We hear why she feels she went way beyond her parental duties. Claudia also hears from the man who nominated Maytree, a sanctuary for the suicidal and the only place of its kind in the UK, about why Maytree saved his life. Also in the programme Professor Janet Treasure discusses new research on the so-called love hormone oxytocin and why it can disrupt the way that people with anorexia view food and body shape.
