Detailed description

This study will be offered to all patients treated within the SUPEA of HPNCL for TCA. The active queue of patients is collected using the HPNCL medical software. Patients and their parents will be contacted by telephone to inform them and suggest that they participate in this study. The schools will be chosen from those attended by the patients on this list. They will also be contacted by telephone to inform them and suggest that they participate in this study. Interviews in the presence of two members of the research team (child psychiatrists, psychologists, anthropologists, etc.) will be offered to all patients. These interviews will be face-to-face when possible, but can also be done remotely, by teleconsultation, depending on the preferences of the participants. These interviews will be based on a questionnaire established beforehand evoking the history of eating disorders and the experience of the participant in the study and his entourage of the Covid-19 health crisis. All information exchanged during these interviews will be made anonymous (data collected and processed as well as the results presented). They will be used exclusively in the context of the study and not communicated to the medical team involved in the patient's care. The proposed interviews will be carried out separately with: * The patient presenting or having presented a TCA * The parents * One or more health professionals taking care of the patient * The school attended by the patient who will be questioned about the TCA and Covid-19 problem in general or not about the patient in particular. Questionnaires will also be carried out with patients in order to complete the assessment of their clinical condition at a distance from the psychological crisis:
