Eating and Nutrition Disorders: Intra and Post-Lockdown Pandemic Emergencies.

ABSTRACT

Eating Disorders (ED), currently specified as Eating and Nutrition Disorders (DAN), have impacted their morbidity since the last years of the last century, afflicting large segments of the population, predominantly youth, in the westernized "hemisphere." In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and negatively influenced eating behaviors in both the general population and DAN sufferers. In agreement with many authors, distancing and social isolation have produced eating disconducts or aggravated symptoms in patients undergoing treatment. All this has led in many cases, to the demand for urgent and-or emergency care. This paper aims to review recent literature and expose data on such treatment regimens.
