During the COVID-19 pandemic, the incidence of eating disorders (ED) has increased not only in Japan but also worldwide. This online survey for pediatricians showed that caregivers tend to visit specific pediatric institutions or child psychiatry departments when children under junior high school age develop eating disorders. There are few pediatric institutions regarding treatment acceptance for children with ED. Of the 34 respondents, 16 (47.1%) answered that the number of visits for children with eating disorders had "stayed the same", one answered it had "decreased" and 17 (50.0%) answered it had "increased" or "increased very much". In addition, 28 of the 34 respondents (82.3%) experienced difficulties with psychotherapy for children with ED. For treating children with ED, pediatricians usually conducted physical examination and have some clinical burden. ED are increasing in the COVID-19 pandemic. Because children with severe ED need to be hospitalized, child and adolescent psychiatric wards are overcrowded and some children with other mental disorders can't be admitted.

Overweight and obesity represent common chronic metabolic disorders in the general population, and observed trends describe a substantial growth in the prevalence of weight excess also among individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D), the so-called 'lean phenotype' of diabetes. The sharp rise of weight excess and obesity-related cardio-nephron-metabolic burdens observed in T2D is expected to produce similar consequences in T1D, leading to the urgent need to endorse therapeutic protocols as in most parts of the World no adjunctive treatments are approved for T1D, making weight excess management challenging in these individuals. The notable results shown by newer glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and emerging dual agonists, especially while managing cardio-metabolic burdens, in T2D have encouraged fervent anecdotal and non-anecdotal research also in T1D, indicating that non-insulin injective agents can be effective and safe.

Background: Exercise addiction often coexists with eating disorders and extreme dietary habits. It has remained unclear whether restrained eating, the most common maladaptive behavior in eating disorders, is associated with exercise addiction and whether some common psychological factors will affect their relationship. This study aimed to explore the interplay among restrained eating, exercise addiction, social physique anxiety, and grit.

Background: Subclinical hypomanic symptoms are fairly common in the general population but are linked to psychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions. However, the genetic and environmental origins of these associations are unclear. This twin study examined the phenotypic and aetiological associations between subclinical hypomania and psychiatric and neurodevelopmental diagnoses.
