Sub-theme: Complexity, Specialization, and Responsibility of Eating Disorder Treatment

One of the issues raised by non-eating disorder specialists was that eating disorders is both specialized and complex in nature.
Eating disorders are considered ‘rare, chronic and require intense care, high levels of treatment and high demand from health professionals’.
Overall, specialist eating disorder care was considered the gold standard in eating disorder treatment. Unfortunately, this was not only often unobtainable, but emphasis as a ‘best’ care ultimately undermined other agencies, treating them as mere stepping stones to specialized services rather than potentially beneficial alternatives.
