Abstract

Eating disorders (EDs) and feeding disorders are characterized by maladaptive eating behaviors resulting in psychosocial, physical, or nutritional impairment. In this chapter, we review the most common EDs among children and adolescents, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, and other specified eating and feeding disorder. While all the disorders we discuss can appear across the lifespan, our focus in this work will be on youth. This chapter will further review the physical health implications of EDs, case identification methods in pediatric settings, and the relevant prevention and intervention literature. We will conclude with a discussion of implications for interprofessional care, a case study, and future directions for the field.
