In the complex landscape of youth mental health, eating disorders (EDs) present significant challenges, requiring sustained attention and swift action. As June 2nd marks World Eating Disorders Action Day, raising awareness about the early detection and treatment of these devastating disorders is crucial What Are Eating Disorders? Eating disorders involve much more than just disturbed eating habits. They are psychiatric illnesses characterized by a dysfunctional relationship with food, weight, and body image. Predominantly observed in adolescents, these disorders can appear at any age and affect men as well. Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder are among the most common forms, with profound impacts on an individual's physical and mental health.Early DetectionThe vigilance of parents and healthcare professionals is essential in identifying the early signs of EDs. Any changes in eating habits, an obsession with weight and appearance, and signs of social withdrawal and low self-esteem must be taken seriously. Early detection can prevent severe complications and improve the chances of recovery.Family-Based Therapy (FBT)For those who suspect the presence of an ED in their child or adolescent, prompt medical consultation is imperative. At Erasme Hospital and the Children's Hospital, Silvana Fuso, a specialist in EDs, offers an innovative approach with Family-Based Therapy (FBT). This method actively involves parents in the therapeutic process, providing crucial familial support for recovery.Read our page dedicated to this health issueContact InformationTo schedule an appointment with Silvana Fuso:Erasme Hospital: EMC Child and Adolescent ConsultationSecretariat: +32 2 555 32 96Appointment Request FormChildren's Hospital (Huderf)University Children's Hospital's Child Psychiatry Service: +32 2 477 3180Appointment Request Form

They require societal restructuring and support for innovative treatments.  For more information: https://www.radiorg.be/fr/
