**6. Conclusions**

The findings from our long-term follow-up for EDs as well as our previous research [1] suggest that despite our small sample size, 67% of the patients relapse after childbirth, and they relapsed within the 3mon of the pregnancy. The rate of the postnatal depression was higher compared to healthy women. There was no relation between ED patients and their husband with regard to family support. Thus the long-term follow-up for the patients with EDs were very important.
