Managing the common problem of co‐occurring mental health conditions in eating disorders: A commentary on Wade et al. (2023)

Abstract

AbstractIt is well known that individuals with an eating disorder frequently experience a wide range of co‐occurring mental health conditions which significantly impact eating disorders and quality of life. Clinicians attempt a variety of strategies to deal with the behavioral complexity of such co‐occurrence, but little is known about empirically based interventions to treat this common comorbidity. The approach articulated by Wade and Colleagues highlights a potentially valuable strategy for empirically examining a range of treatment strategies to target the full spectrum of eating disorder psychopathology experienced by most patients with eating disorders.
