Psychiatric News (7/17) reports, “Children and adolescents who have eating disorders are more likely than those without eating disorders to use most mental health and non-mental health services,” investigators concluded after examining “the health records of 1,449 patients aged five to 17 years who had eating disorders and” then comparing “them to the health records of 7,245 patients in the same age group in the general population who did not have eating disorders.” The findings were published online July 14 in the International Journal of Eating Disorders.
