Clinical Trial Summary

Since March 17, 2020, the French government has implemented national containment measures due to the COVID-19 epidemic. Quarantine is an unpleasant experience : Separation from relatives, loss of liberty, concern about the infectious status, boredom, can negatively affect mental health, with the emergence of anxiety and depressive symptoms.

In addition, confinement can disrupt usual physical activity, a major destabilization criterion for patients suffering from eating disorders (ED). Finally, conditions of confinement can harm social support, yet identified as a protective and resilience factor in stress contexts. Thus, the current context of confinement and social distances could be source of an increase in eating behavior disorders symptoms in people suffering from ED.
