This means that the process of differential diagnosis – distinguishing between multiple disorders that may have similar symptoms – is very important.
Given the mental health consequences of unaddressed trauma among young people, it’s important that they quickly receive effective treatment.

Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that usually develop during adolescence.
