KEY MESSAGES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses [23]
with a high morbidity and mortality, but the prog-
nosis is good if appropriate treatment is started
early [26], the majority of sufferers recovering
within 5 years [27]. Families should be involved in
treatment as the main source of support for the suf-
ferer [28]. The trend is away from hospital-based
treatment for adolescents, towards treatment that
allow relationships with peers and family to be
maintained, and for functional aspects of the suf-
ferer’s life, such as involvement in education, to be
maintained.
