Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa in the adolescence require premature and continuous cares, over several years. To associate the parents to the care is indispensable. The practitioner has to give appointment to both parents and the patient, and in certain cases to propose a family therapy. Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa require an important coordination between physicians and psychiatrists. An inpatient treatment can be necessary but it is very rare.
