This chapter addresses the pharmacotherapy of the eating disorders (EDs). Many persons with EDs receive pharmacotherapy, but pharmacotherapy research for EDs has lagged behind that for other major mental disorders. This chapter first provides a brief rationale for using medications in the treatment of EDs. It then reviews the data supporting the effectiveness of specific medications or medication classes in treating patients with anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED), and other potentially important EDs, such as night eating syndrome (NES). It concludes by summarizing these data and suggesting future areas for research in the pharmacotherapy of EDs.

Many persons with eating disorders (EDs) receive pharmacotherapy, but pharmacotherapy research for EDs has lagged behind that for other major mental disorders. In this chapter, we first provide a brief rationale for using medications in the treatment of EDs. We then review the data supporting the effectiveness of specific medications or medication classes in treating patients with anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder (BED), and other potentially important EDs, such as night eating syndrome (NES) and sleep-related eating disorder (SRED). We conclude by summarizing these data and suggesting future areas for research in the pharmacotherapy of EDs.

Dissociative Experiences

The aim of this study has been to investigate the dissociative phenomena and the difficulties related to perceive, understand and describe the proper ones and other people's emotional states in a sample of 53 patients with Eating Disorders. The recruited sample is made by 14 Anorexia Nervosa (AN) patients, 15 with Bulimia Nervosa (BN), 12 with Eating Disorder Non Otherwise Specified (EDNOS) and 12 with Binge Eating Disorder (BED). To all subjects was administred the Eating Disorder Inventory-2, the Dissociative Experiences Scale and the Scala Alessitimica Romana. In according with literature, we confirme the relationships among Eating Disorders, the dissociative phenomena and Alexithymia.

Recovery Process

Research about stigmatization in eating disorders (EDs) has highlighted stereotypes, prejudices, and discrimination against people with EDs, as well as their harmful effects on them, including self-stigma and a difficult recovery process. Whereas a recent review focused on the consequences of ED stigma, our work aimed to provide a broader synthesis of ED stigma, including its consequences, but also its content and distribution. More precisely, we focused on three EDs—namely, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. Based on a systematic search of four major databases in psychology, the present scoping review includes 46 studies published between 2004 and 2021. We did not conduct any quality assessment of the studies included, because our aim was to provide a wide-ranging overview of these topics instead of an appraisal of evidence answering a precise research question. The review confirmed the existence of a common ED stigma: all individuals affected by EDs reviewed here were perceived as responsible for their situation, and elicited negative emotions and social distance. However, our review also depicted a specific stigma content associated with each ED. In addition, the demographic characteristics of the stigmatizing individuals had a notable influence on the extent of ED stigma: men, young adults, and low-income individuals appeared to be the most stigmatizing toward individuals with EDs. It is important to note that ED stigma had a negative effect on individuals’ eating disorders, psychological wellbeing, and treatment-seeking behavior. There is an urgent need for further research on the adverse effects of ED stigma and its prevention.

Maladaptive Eating

This chapter provides an overview of the use of IPT for patients with eating disorders. The most common eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. The chapter discusses the adaptations of IPT that have been used for the treatment of eating disorders and evaluates their performance in research studies. The assumption for testing IPT with eating disorders is that they occur in response to distress at poor social and interpersonal functioning and consequent negative mood, to which the patient responds with maladaptive eating behaviors. For anorexia nervosa, few data provide evidence for the benefit of IPT. For bulimia and binge eating disorder, however, IPT is considered a viable option for treatment and is recommended in numerous guidelines. A case example of a woman with bulimia nervosa is provided.

Over Time

This chapter describes the three main eating disorders (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder), together with other similar related states. It explains how they are classified and describes their clinical features, development, and course. It is noted that the eating disorders have many features in common and that people move between them over time. These two observations support adopting a transdiagnostic perspective on these conditions.

Levels Of Care

Binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, and anorexia nervosa, particularly milder cases, often go unrecognized and untreated in primary care practice settings. Eating disorders are frequently associated with shame, and masked by other prominent physical and psychiatric conditions that demand attention. Among adults, binge eating disorder, the most prevalent of the eating disorders, occurs with increasing frequency, in tandem with higher rates and degrees of obesity, across all age ranges, and in both genders. Bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa are more common in females, and although they are most often seen in pediatric and adolescent medicine practices cases, they are also seen in adult practice populations. This chapter describes pathways by which primary care practices can implement integrated and collaborative care treatment programs, likely to benefit large numbers of patients, and effectively coordinate with specialist levels of care, as necessary.
