From isolation to weight gain to the anxiety of remote learning, the global pandemic presents a variety of reasons why those with eating disorders are having a difficult time managing their health conditions. Jessie Menzel, MD, pediatric program manager with the UC San Diego Eating Disorders Center for Treatment and Research is available to talk about the following topics:
- How families with kids who have eating disorders are coping with the added stress and anxiety of work and school and how this is impacting their ability to support their children with eating disorders.
- How eating disorder patients of all ages are dealing with social isolation, limited support, increased focus on pandemic-related weight gain and increased time at home.
