The desire to have a baby for a woman suffering from anorexia requires the health professional to address the issues of restrictive behaviour, weight gain and body image. The players concerned must be able to recognise these patients and their frailty. They need to be aware of and trained in eating disorders. Multi-disciplinary monitoring is essential in order to provide care adapted to the mother and the infant.

The physical, psychological and social changes that occur during adolescence constitute a physiological crisis that is necessary for development and growth. The establishment of a suitable "self-image" is important for facilitating harmonious psychophysical development during this time. In the current era, digital technology (DT) serves as an extraordinary means of communication for young people, who make significant use of images as a mode of expression.

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe psychiatric disorder. However, we lack neurobiological models and interventions to explain and treat the core characteristics of food restriction, feeling fat, and body size overestimation. Research has made progress in understanding brain function involved in the pathophysiology of AN, but translating those results into biological therapies has been challenging.

Article Synopsis
- Childhood emotional abuse (EA) is a major risk factor for developing eating disorders (EDs), prompting a study to explore how EA relates to ED symptoms through various mediators.
- The research involved 374 participants, including patients with Anorexia Nervosa (AN) or Bulimia Nervosa (BN) and healthy controls, assessing factors such as ineffectiveness and impulsivity to understand the impact of EA on ED symptoms.
- Results revealed that impulsivity mediated the link between EA and desire for thinness in AN, while sensitivity to punishment was significant for body dissatisfaction in BN, highlighting potential treatment targets focusing on emotional processing for those affected by childhood trauma.

Although men and women both experience eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, there are differences in the way their eating disorder may present. Body dissatisfaction or body dysmorphia in men may be more related to a drive for muscularity as opposed to thinness. Muscle dysmorphic disorder (also known as muscle dysmorphia) is a form or subtype of body dysmorphia that is characterised by an extreme desire for muscularity and a preoccupation with the idea that one's physique is too small or not sufficiently muscular.

Objective: Dietitians have a central role in eating disorder (ED) treatment, however few studies exist investigating therapeutic aspects of dietetic care and factors influencing the dietitian-patient relationship. To address the gap, this study aimed to use a qualitative description approach to explore the experiences of delivering and receiving dietetic care in ED treatment in the UK.
Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 6 specialist ED dietitians and focus groups with 11 recovered ED patients.
