Binge-eating disorder is the most prevalent eating disorder in the United States, but previous studies have presented conflicting views of the disorder’s duration and the likelihood of relapse. A new five-year study led by investigators from McLean Hospital, a member of the Mass General Brigham health care system, showed that 61% and 45% of individuals still experienced binge-eating disorder 2.5 and 5 years after their initial diagnoses, respectively. These results contradict previous prospective studies that documented faster remission times, according to the authors. “The big takeaway is that binge-eating disorder does improve with time, but for many people it lasts…
Eating disorders are serious and complex conditions, requiring a whole person approach to care. Currently, religious and spiritual aspects are rarely incorporated in this care. Inclusion of such aspects for those who would like this would assist in individualising and personalising care and may improve outcomes. We are seeking to better understand how religious and spiritual aspects influence the experience of eating disorders, with a focus on Christian spirituality. We will be hearing from people with lived experience of eating disorders, their loved ones, healthcare providers and pastoral carers about their experiences. Together, we plan to build on these insights…

How we think influences symptoms and our experiences. Cognitive flexibility is the ability to adapt to changes in the environment and/or changing task demands. Difficulties with thinking flexibly have been noted in eating disorders, however, few studies have considered flexible thinking in patients who have partially or fully recovered from anorexia nervosa. Furthermore, there is limited research that has linked cognitive flexibility with other cognitive factors (e.g. perfectionism) in anorexia nervosa. This project is an online study investigating the relationship between various cognitive factors (including cognitive flexibility, rumination, perfectionism, self-efficacy and obsessional beliefs) and anorexia nervosa, a debilitating eating disorder.…
