Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the experience of adolescents suffering from anorexia nervosa confronted with the prescription of antidepressants

Detailed description

In our adolescent psychiatric unit, antidepressant's prescription is common during the care pathway for adolescents with anorexia nervosa. The literature highlights a paradox between scientific data and clinical practice, based on expert consensus. There are a very few qualitative studies in this subject and none of them concern adolescents. The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore the experience and opinion of adolescents suffering from anorexia nervosa confronted with the prescription of antidepressants
