Eating disorders are serious, potentially life-threatening illnesses affecting individuals through the life span, with a particular impact on both the physical and psychological development of children and adolescents. Because care for children and adolescents with eating disorders can be complex and resources for the treatment of eating disorders are often limited, pediatricians may be called on to not only provide medical supervision for their patients with diagnosed eating disorders but also coordinate care and advocate for appropriate services.
Boston Children’s Hospital provides an overview of youth eating disorders.
