Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services
Information for professionals
We are here to support where there is concern that a young person may have an eating disorder. This page provides some useful resources about eating disorders and information about how we can help.
Eating disorders are common in adolescence. If they are detected early and there is access to specialist treatment the prognosis is very good. However, if left untreated, or treated inadequately, the disorder can become chronic and difficult to treat. Many adults with long term eating disorders developed their initial symptoms in the adolescent years. This service will provide easy access for patients where an eating disorder is suspected.
The NICE Guidelines for eating disorders can be accessed on their website (external website).
A useful guideline for assessment and management of physical risk is the Junior Marsipan Guideline (external resource).
