ABSTRACT
Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic and the associated lockdown measures, the number of children treated in this children's hospital for eating disorders and in particular anorexia nervosa has significantly increased.An increased focus on the control of body weight with restrictive eating habits or otherwise induced weight loss (sport) can compensate for fears of loss of control. Thinking and behavioral patterns which are typical for anorexia can be assessed as dysfunctional coping strategies of the corona pandemic in order to regain control (in the sense of a substitute structure) but also as a means of coping better with feelings of depression and anxiety.
