[Care continuity for patients with eating disorder during transition from childhood to adulthood].
Eating disorder is mainly seen at the younger woman. In recent years, there has been a growing population of younger or elder women. In children, most of the eating disorder is anorexia nervosa(AN), but if eating disorders are prolonged, these switched over to ANBP and bulimia nervosa(BN). When a psychological problem becomes bigger that abnormal eating behavior and psychiatric disorder stand out at ANBP and BN, we can't answer as the pediatrics, and it's taken over psychiatry and the department of psychosomatic medicine. Because ego and the women's establishment and the lifestyle are related to eating disorder, long-term follow-up is needed. It's necessary to understand the feature of the eating disorder and adjust the treatment environment (including introduction to a medical specialist) early.
