[Eating disorders in children and adolescents].
Eating disorders in early childhood increase the risk of anorexia or bulimia nervosa in adolescents. In the case of babies feeding disorders and pica are differentiated. Eating disorders in pre-school and primary school age are common. A main cause is neophobia, which can be treated by the observance of certain rules at meal-times (taken together with the family). Anorexia and bulimia affect mainly adolescents. Anorexia is associated with a number of mental and somatic comorbidities that need to be considered for the diagnosis and treatment.
