Evidence suggests that by recognising the psychosocial component of illness as equally important to the biological components, care becomes more holistic, and patients can benefit. Providing this type of care requires collaboration among health professionals, rather than working in isolation, to achieve better outcomes. However, there is a lack of evidence about the implementation of integrated health care. This review focuses on children and young people experiencing eating disorders (i.e. disorders related to feeding and eating) or functional symptom disorders (i.e. medically unexplained symptoms).
