Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current evidence on eating disorders.
  • Analysis of the impact of service developments and the COVID-19 pandemic on EDs referrals.
  • Synthesis of information on assessment, clinical management, and research.

Main Results:

  • Eating disorders (EDs) present a complex challenge influenced by multiple factors.
  • There is a need for enhanced skills in generic child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) for EDs assessment and treatment.
  • Service developments require ongoing updates and adaptation.

Conclusions:

  • Multifaceted and individualized treatments are essential for eating disorders (EDs).
  • Child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) must be equipped to handle the increasing prevalence of EDs.
  • Continuous clinical updates and research are vital for effective EDs management.
