Abstract
Eating disorders (EDs) are considered serious multifactorial psychological illnesses that mainly affect adolescents and are characterized by alterations in food intake, as well as irrational thoughts associated with weight, body image, and food, resulting in maladaptive behaviors. Given their impact on the physical and mental health of adolescents, it is crucial to evaluate the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in Eating Disorders in Adolescents as an intervention plan. Therefore, this research is consolidated by Randomized Clinical Trials published from 2015 to 2025 and registered in scientific databases such as Scopus, Pubmed, and ScienceDirect, using Rayyan for the classification of studies, PRISMA 2020 for the selection, and CONSORT 2010 and AMSTAR 2 for the evaluation of the methodological quality of the selected articles. In the end, six studies met the inclusion criteria. The findings of this systematic review demonstrate the effectiveness of CBT in reducing symptoms of EDs such as binge eating, purging behaviors, preoccupation with food, weight, body image, and low self-esteem, as well as comorbid disorders such as depression and anxiety. It is worth mentioning that interventions involving the family achieve better results in the remission of symptoms typical of EDs.
