    Los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA) en adolescentes representan una problemática creciente que afecta la salud física, emocional y social. Estas condiciones, como la anorexia nerviosa, bulimia nerviosa y trastorno por atracón, suelen estar acompañadas de comorbilidades psiquiátricas, entre ellas la depresión, ansiedad y el riesgo de intento autolítico. La detección temprana, el abordaje integral y el tratamiento multidisciplinario son claves para mejorar el pronóstico y prevenir desenlaces fatales. Este artículo aborda la relación entre los TCA y la conducta suicida en adolescentes, explorando factores de riesgo, manifestaciones clínicas y estrategias terapéuticas.

    Eating disorders (EDs) in adolescents represent a growing problem that affects physical, emotional, and social health. These conditions, such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, are often accompanied by psychiatric comorbidities, including depression, anxiety, and the risk of suicidal attempt. Early detection, a comprehensive approach, and multidisciplinary treatment are key to improving prognosis and preventing fatal outcomes. This article addresses the relationship between EDs and suicidal behavior in adolescents, exploring risk factors, clinical manifestations, and therapeutic strategies.
