Have your eating habits changed during the pandemic?
The pandemic spiked the number of hospitalizations, especially in adolescents, due to an eating disorder. The University of Michigan Medical School found the number of hospitalizations increased by 25% during the pandemic. The university found 125 hospitalizations during the first 12 months of the pandemic while during the same time between 2017 and 2019, the average was 56 patients.
She said eating disorders are more common than people may think. The National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders reports about 28.8 million Americans from an eating disorder. "Disordered eating is more of a gray area," Hendrix said."A person might exhibit some of the characteristics of an eating disorder, like they may restrict food."
Over at the University of Arizona, the coordinator for eating disorder services Jan Courtney said the counseling community had to find new ways to provide care like using Zoom. “We talk about the effect of social media and we talk a lot about body image and encourage people to have these conversations," Courtney said.
