Abstract in brief

Researchers studied the early effects of COVID-19 on people with eating disorders in the US and Netherlands by surveying 1,021 participants about their mental health and treatment experiences during the pandemic.
Findings showed that individuals with anorexia nervosa faced heightened food restriction fears, while those with bulimia nervosa and binge-eating disorder experienced increased binge episodes and urges.
Despite some negative impacts like increased anxiety, participants also noted positive outcomes, such as improved family connections and more time for self-care, highlighting the need for tailored healthcare responses during COVID-19.
