In honor of #mentalhealthawareness month, here we highlight #IJED papers that serve as a reminder that eating disorders are serious mental health concerns in need of continued rigorous research (an IJED thread 1/7)
On the encouraging side, people with eating disorders DO recover, highlighting a need for research to understand how and why. In this article, ~1/2 of people with long-standing eating disorders at least partially recovered over prolonged follow-up (6/7): https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/eat.23495">https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.10...
These articles highlight why ongoing eating disorder research is needed. Eating disorders research is currently underfunded, necessitating increased efforts in this important area of mental health (7/7): https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/wps.20465">https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/...
