Eating Disorders (ED)

In the first few months after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, pediatric hospitals in high-income countries began to report substantial increases in acute presentations of eating disorders. These findings were important because ED admissions or visits before the pandemic had generally stagnated or decreased.

Clinicians have proven few pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatments effective for body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and eating disorders (ED). However, researchers are exploring new treatment options for those with EDs and BDD including psychedelic-assisted therapies. This systematic review collected and evaluated evidence related to the therapeutic impact psychedelics have on patients diagnosed with EDs and BDD.
