We've told ourselves this whole time that our children are resilient. Every missed event, virtual school session or socially distant celebration, we've clung to that thought. But after nearly two years we're seeing the impact of Covid-19 on children and teens' mental health. And one of the ways it is registering frequently is through eating disorders.

What do we know about the huge spike in teens and others struggling with this? How can we try to mitigate it? What should you watch for if you are worried about someone you love?

GUEST: Dr. Ayisha Kurji, consultant pediatrician in Saskatoon, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Saskatchewan
