Neurodevelopmental Sequelae of Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe mental illness with substantial morbidity and mortality. The central, salient disturbance in AN is restriction of food intake, leading to inappropriately low body weight.

The Cost of Avoidance
As child psychiatrists, it is our job to ask questions, and many of us would say we are really good at it. We work with our patients to open up about their experiences, discussing fear, sadness, hope and joy. By modeling this ability to open up in the office, we help guide children and adolescent through using other skills rather than avoidance. Though avoidance has its place at times, we help show our patients the connection between anxiety and avoidance. This necessity to embrace and challenge fears can be a difficult skill for our patients and also their families. (Source: Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry)

Editorial: The Durable Long-Term Benefits of Evidence-Based Care for Children and Adolescents With Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can be enormously taxing for affected youth and their families; the distress, impairment, and family upheaval that it brings are well documented.1 Both exposure-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and pharmacological interventions are efficacious for reducing symptoms and functional impairment, producing mean effect sizes of g  = 1.21 and g = 0.50 respectively.2 These treatments—whether administered alone or in combination—form the backbone of our current suite of interventions. They have helped countless young people to restore functioning and lead healthy, producti...
