Exploring the ways in which <scp>COVID</scp>‐19 and lockdown has affected the lives of adult patients with anorexia nervosa and their carers

Reduced access to ED services, loss of routine and heightened anxieties and ED symptoms resulting from COVID-19 and lockdown measures presented challenges for patients and carers. Increased remote support by ED services enabled the continuation of treatment and self-management resources and strategies promoted self-efficacy in both groups.
