What this Trial Is About
Researchers are exploring how adolescents with anorexia nervosa, their parents, and healthcare professionals perceive and experience psychotropic drugs. This observational study aims to understand these experiences without preconceived ideas, focusing on the complexity of feelings and attitudes toward medications such as antidepressants and atypical antipsychotics in adolescent care. The study is conducted within an adolescent medicine department and involves interviews with these three groups. The study uses semi-structured interviews, including visual aids, to gather detailed personal experiences. Participants include adolescents aged 12 to 25 years with anorexia nervosa who have been prescribed psychotropic drugs, their parents, and healthcare professionals who treat these adolescents. Each participant will take part in an hour-long interview focusing on their views and experiences with these medications. Participants will be interviewed once on the day of inclusion in the study. Researchers will analyze these interviews to understand the subjective experiences related to psychotropic drug use in anorexia nervosa. This includes exploring reactions to medication proposals, actual use, and the impact these drugs have as seen by the individuals themselves and their families. The study's findings will help illuminate the complexities of drug treatment in adolescent anorexia nervosa.
