Identifying fundamental criteria for eating disorder.
This systematic review evaluates the efficacy of internet-based interventions for the treatment of different eating disorders in adults. A search for peer reviewed journal articles detailing Randomised Control Trials (RCT) and Controlled Trials (CT) addressing participants with eating disorders aged at least 16 was completed in the electronic databases Web of Science, PsycInfo and PubMed.
Six main feeding and eating disorders are now recognised in diagnostic systems: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder, pica, and rumination disorder. The presentation form of eating disorders might vary for men versus women, for example. As eating disorders are under-researched, there is a great deal of uncertainty as to their.
Recent meta-analyses have shown that CBT for bulimia nervosa and binge-eating disorder is more effective than other psychological therapies in reducing binge eating and purging and in improving attitudes towards weight, shape and eating (7). Improvements in quality of life and symptoms of depression are also noted (8, 9). CBT can be effectively delivered in individual, group, or guided self.
Our data differ from the earlier meta-analysis with respect to eating disorders, anxiety disorders, and affective disorders. While eating disorders and anxiety disorders show considerably higher mean dissociation scores in our analysis than in the earlier one (18.6 compared with 14.5 for eating disorders; 15.2 compared with 10.2 for anxiety disorders), we found lower scores for affective.
An eating disorder is a mental disorder defined by abnormal eating habits that negatively affect a person's physical or mental health. They include binge eating disorder, where people eat a large amount in a short period of time; anorexia nervosa, where people eat very little due to a fear of gaining weight and thus have a low body weight; bulimia nervosa, where people eat a lot and then try.
Eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS) is the most prevalent eating disorder (ED) diagnosis. In this meta-analysis, the authors aimed to inform Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders revisions by comparing the psychopathology of EDNOS with that of the officially recognized EDs: anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and binge eating disorder (BED).
The present article reviews literature examining the link between personality and EDs published within the past decade, and presents a meta-analysis evaluating the prevalence of personality disorders (PDs) in anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and binge eating disorder (BED) as assessed by self-report instruments versus diagnostic interviews. AN and BN are both consistently.
