Abstract

Feeding and eating disorders in infancy, childhood and adolescence are frequent medical and psychological problems. The causes of these disorders are complex and not fully explored. The treatment should be multidimensional because psychopharmacology and psychotherapy used together are not always sufficient, and in most cases families should be involved in treatment. Feeding and eating disorders are serious, long-lasting and difficult to cure. Their impact on the health and quality of life of children and adolescents requires full attention and a serious approach to prevention.
