Abstract
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, our daily lives have changed drastically. The United States has gone through multiple iterations of lockdowns, mandates, and re-openings that have varied throughout the country. The impact of the pandemic on our social, economic, physical, and mental health is still being determined. One area that we are starting to recognize is the impact of the pandemic on eating disorders (ED) in children and adolescents. The treatment of ED has had a long history of treatment barriers that has worsened with the pandemic, making finding care for patients in need significantly more difficult.
