The New York Times (2/18, Richtel) said U.S. emergency departments during the pandemic “reported an increase in visits from teenage girls dealing with eating and other disorders, including anxiety, depression and stress, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.” The CDC “said that the proportion of eating disorder visits doubled among teenage girls, set off by pandemic-related risk factors, like the ‘lack of structure in daily routine, emotional distress and changes in food availability.’”
