[Eating disorders in the light of addiction].
Revue Médicale Suisse 2024 Februrary 22
Eating disorders (ED) are complex and damaging to health. They cause suffering similar to that of addictions. Although they share some similarities, eating disorders remain distinct from addictions. Fundamental differences emerge in binge eating and restrictive behaviors. Eating disorder treatment in adolescents relies mainly on family therapy and can incorporate a reflection on these similarities and differences. For instance, understanding the addictive nature of the illness helps parents and patients to avoid sterile negotiations around food. An individualized approach is crucial to the effective management of ED by a specialized multidisciplinary team. Clarity in explaining physiological mechanisms strengthens the therapeutic alliance.
