Overview of Knowledge and Practices Among Healthcare Professionals Treating Eating Disorders

Perinatal psychiatry is a psychiatric specialty that has been developing for several years. This perinatal period is crucial for bio-psycho-affective development.

Eating disorders are among the most common disorders in psychiatry. Women who have experienced or currently experience eating disorders may exhibit a relapse, stabilization, or improvement in these behaviors, with direct consequences for their baby's development.

Although eating disorders have been extensively studied in adolescents and adults, the perinatal period remains less explored.
