Abstract
Eating disorders like anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), and otherwise specific feeding and eating disorders (OSFED) are severe mental illnesses with high rates of morbidity and mortality, second only to opiate dependence. The most severe eating disorders require high levels of psychiatric and medical intervention to maximize the treatment response and maintain psychological and physical safety. Child and adolescent psychiatrists should be able to identify patients requiring medical or inpatient interventions to limit poor outcomes.
