What is Eating Disorders in Children and Adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder about?

Eating disorders (ED) are prevalent comorbid conditions in children and adolescent with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is estimated that children with ADHD have up to threefold increased risk for eating disorders compared to healthy controls most predominately for binge eating disorder and bulimia nervosa. Psychiatric comorbidities like depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders are common in children and adolescents with both ADHD and ED that need to be addressed early for optimal management. The roles of psychopathology, emotional regulation difficulties, and impulsivity features of ADHD as mediators between ADHD and ED have been widely highlighted in the literature. The chapter goes on to investigate the association between ADHD and ED in pediatric population based on review of the literature. Besides, studying disordered eating behaviors, and risk factors and underlying mechanisms for ED in children and adolescents with ADHD, is needed to develop effective intervention modalities for ADHD and ED.
