From Across the Desk

2025!  A new year brings new possibilities to us all, along with continuing challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of eating disorders.  Historically, the spotlight has been on anorexia nervosa, while much exciting research continues in bulimia nervosa and newer forms of eating disorders, such as the most common eating disorder, binge eating disorder, first identified in 1959.  The challenges remain, including  access to care, insurance costs, and the benefits and unsuspected negatives of some internet sites.  In this issue, an article features websites that offer seemingly healthy ideas—until the viewer is confronted with products and advice that really is about unhealthy weight loss (see “Healthy and Pro-ED Websites,” elsewhere in this issue)

Desde el otro lado del escritorio

2025! Un nuevo año nos trae a todos nuevas posibilidades, junto con continuos retos en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de los trastornos alimentarios. Históricamente, los reflectores se han centrado en la anorexia nervosa, mientras que continúan las investigaciones interesantes sobre la bulimia nervosa y las formas más nuevas de trastornos alimentarios, como el trastorno alimentario más común, el trastorno por atracón, identificado por primera vez en 1959. Los retos persisten, incluido el acceso a la atención, los costos de los seguros y los beneficios e insospechados aspectos negativos de algunos sitios de Internet. En este número, un artículo advierte sobre los sitios web que ofrecen ideas aparentemente saludables, hasta que el lector se encuentra con productos y consejos que en realidad tienen que ver con una pérdida de peso poco saludable (véase “Sitios web saludables y a favor de la TCA,” en otra parte de este número).
