Excerpt

Eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and binge-eating disorder (BED), are serious psychiatric illnesses. The morbidity and mortality rates for these disorders are among the highest seen for any psychiatric illness. The serious and complex nature of these illnesses and their associated features have led to the development of psychosocial and medical treatments that utilize a range of treatment settings. Intensive treatments have evolved in efforts to interrupt maladaptive eating and associated behaviors and to manage the medical complications that are commonly present.
