Pediatric Eating Disorders - (Part 1) Depression/Suicidality with Eating Disorder – 2023

March 7, 2023
  1. Fourth and Fifth Session Topics: Depression/Suicidality:
    1. This one will need to be two sessions:
      1. Updates on Suicide Risk, Assessment, Prevention and Treatment
      2. Managing Suicidal Patients in an Acute Inpatient Medical Setting
        1. This is where the boarders discussion would come in
    2. Discuss the increase in suicides in pediatrics patients. I would want to know the breakdown of increases including by sex and age groups.
    3. Discuss how people are doing it, guns, overdosing, hanging etc.
    4. We would like to hear about the problems from a quantitative perspective
      1. How many inpatient pediatric psychiatry beds are there in the country
      2. How many kids at any point are waiting for beds, not how many are in the beds, how many are still waiting for the beds, boarding at other hospitals.
    5. I wonder if a session on the financial aspect of these admissions would be helpful. How does a pediatric psychiatry hospital or floor get reimbursement or money, how many costs are involved? Would that help us to understand why there aren’t more?
    6. Boarders – when someone is boarding for suicidality – what can we do to help?
