Over the course of the last 50 years, there has been a steady increase in the number of children and adolescents with eating disorders. Historically, eating disorders were believed to occur predominantly in Caucasian adolescents and adult females from middle to upper socio-economic status (SES) households. However, as researchers have began to examine prepubescent and minority girls, it is clear that the number of women affected increases substantially when atypical and sub-clinical disturbances (e.g., absence of menses, weight gains are not met) are considered. The impact of some eating disorders (e.g., Anorexia Nervosa has the highest mortality rate of any mental illness) requires that all school psychologists are familiar with risk factors, current diagnostic criteria, and evidence based treatments.
