- Eating disorders (EDs) are rare, but very serious psychiatric disorders, with a
low recovery rate (1,2). This warrants studies on treatment quality to improve
the course and consequences of EDs and enhance recovery rates. Despite the
increasing recognition of the value of patient input, few studies address how
ED patients evaluate the illness, its consequences and treatment, and how
their views are related to scientific evidence and expert opinions.
