Gustation, or the sense of taste, is intrinsically linked to the anatomical structures located on the tongue. This organ's surface, along with the entirety of the oral cavity, is adorned with stratified squamous epithelium. Evident on the tongue are elevated structures known as papillae (singular = papilla), which house the mechanisms for the transduction of gustatory stimuli. Four distinct types of papillae exist, each identified by their unique morphological attributes: the circumvallate,...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Public Health
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Eating disorders (EDs) are increasingly prevalent, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • EDs encompass anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and others, affecting diverse age groups.
  • These disorders lead to significant somatic, psychiatric, and social complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe eating disorders and their impact.
  • To outline identification and initial assessment strategies.
  • To discuss multidisciplinary treatment approaches for EDs.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on eating disorder prevalence and characteristics.
  • Analysis of diagnostic criteria and assessment tools.
  • Synthesis of current multidisciplinary treatment guidelines.

Main Results:

  • EDs are frequent, increasing post-pandemic, and affect all ages.
  • Somatic, psychiatric, and social complications are common.
  • Despite potential for improved prognosis with early care, EDs are often underdiagnosed.

Conclusions:

  • Early diagnosis and appropriate, multidisciplinary care are essential for improving prognosis.
  • Specialized care pathways for EDs need greater awareness.
  • Treatment must be coordinated, gradual, and individualized.
