SESSION DESCRIPTION
Eating disorders are under-recognized and under-researched in adolescent boys and young men. In this presentation, we will review state-of-the-art research on the presentation and medical management of eating disorders in adolescent boys and young men. In particular, we will highlight characteristics of muscle-enhancing and disordered eating behaviors in boys and men. We will identify current medical treatment guidelines as well as gaps in current clinical guidance for boys and men with eating disorders.
