Healthcare Providers are Developing Severe Eating Disorders during COVID-19

As healthcare providers (HCPs) ourselves, we understand the difficulties COVID-19 has brought to the practice of medicine and behavioral healthcare. These noble professions can be emotionally and physically taxing in normal times, and providers must now navigate evolving safety, effectiveness and capacity concerns, as well as inevitable clinician burnout.
