Abstract

It is evident that COVID-19 has impacted on the way we treat eating disorders. It has also exacerbated eating disorder symptoms and coping mechanisms in those with or without a previously diagnosed eating disorder. It is important to consider potential modifications to assessment and treatment, while realizing that treatment for this vulnerable population is essential.
