Eating disorders are a critical health concern that tragically lead to numerous deaths, especially among young women during their transition age. Anorexia nervosa, in particular, is the most deadly psychiatric condition with a 10% lifetime mortality risk. Recent coroner reports highlight significant medical failings and a dire lack of knowledge among healthcare providers. Given the 90% increase in eating disorder admissions over the last five years, this issue demands urgent attention.
In this podcast Anna Kyle, a consultant paediatrician, covers all you need to know when looking after a young person or young adult with an eating disorder in the Emergency Department.
