Schlegl S, Maier J, Meule A, et al. - In former inpatients with anorexia nervosa (AN), this study was undertaken to investigate how the COVID‐19 pandemic has affected eating disorder (ED) symptoms and other psychological impacts. Researchers included a total of 159 patients with AN who were discharged from inpatient treatment in 2019 and completed an online survey describing contact history with COVID‐19, how ED symptoms have changed, other psychological impacts, health care utilization, and coping tactics patients employed during the pandemic. Eating, shape and weight concerns, drive for physical activity, loneliness, sadness, and inner restlessness increased for about 70% of patients during the pandemic. Daily routines, day planning, and enjoyable activities were the most helpful coping tactics used by patients. To regain control over the current situation, these patients may turn to ED‐related thoughts and behaviors as a dysfunctional coping mechanism. During these times, E‐mental health interventions seem to be promising for supporting AN patients, and interventions that address symptoms of depression, anxiety, and managing uncertainty may be helpful in controllong symptoms of ED.
