Eating Disorders: Clinical Features, Comorbidity, and Treatment

Eating disorders are associated with high rates of mortality, medical complications, psychosocial impairment, and psychiatric comorbidity including mood, anxiety, personality, and substance use disorders. This presentation will provide an overview of the clinical features, comorbid psychopathology, and treatment of eating disorders, as well as several psychological mechanisms that may maintain these symptoms, particularly emotion regulation. Several types of evidence-based psychotherapy treatments for eating disorders will be reviewed, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, family-based treatment, and dialectical behavioral therapy. Future research and clinical directions that may improve the efficacy of the treatment of eating disorders and associated psychiatric comorbidity will be discussed.
