[Update on current care guidelines. Eating disorders in children and adolescents].
Eating disorders in childhood and adolescence are considered to involve both somatic and psychological problems. Treatment soon after diagnosis is aimed at correcting the nutritional and somatic status, including psychoeducative guidance and support for the patients and their family. Multi-professional cooperation is needed in the diagnosis and treatment of eating disorders. Once serious undernutrition is corrected, psychotherapy is indicated. Early and active treatment is associated with favourable prognosis.
