It's been a year or two now since I read several books on Diana, but my memory seems to be different. It was never a matter of drugs, but of therapy (someone to discuss things with) was my understanding. Diana kept bolting from every therapist. She herself seemed to settle on astrologers and psychics, I think. My sense is prescription drugs were not 'the thing' in the 1980's that they became in later decades. I may be wrong but that's what I am recalling.
Also, eating disorders, while perhaps not routinely mentioned in the popular press, were being dealt with in the profession as early as the 1970's. Consider that Diana's elder sister had had her own eating issues handled in therapy in the late 70's. That's in the profession. Among the general populace (and that would include members of the BRF like Charles) would not have necessarily been savvy about eating issues. In fact, it could have been seen as a 'normal' fixation at that social strata. Who was it that said one could never be 'too rich, or too thin'?
