This is how eating disorder care will improve

The knowledge within eating disorder care must be improved. More people need to receive care early, competence needs to increase and the approach needs to become better.

These are some of the conclusions in the National Board of Health and Welfare's national guidelines, which are being presented on Wednesday.

The National Board of Health and Welfare also notes that there are significant national differences when it comes to eating disorder care.

"Today, there are deficiencies in encounters, both in healthcare and in society at large. Therefore, it is important to increase knowledge, for example, at health centers, in maternity care, in student health, in school health, and at youth clinics," says Elisabeth Eidem, project manager at the National Board of Health and Welfare, in a press release.

Last spring, national guidelines for eating disorders were presented for the first time. The updated guidelines are addressed to those who decide on resources, but are also presented in the form of more detailed and practical support for those who meet people with an eating disorder.
