Research Journal: Eating and Weight Disorders – Studies on Anorexia, Bulimia and Obesity

What is this?

Eating and Weight Disorders (https://link.springer.com/journal/40519) is a peer-reviewed journal focusing on eating disorders, obesity, and related topics. It publishes research on anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and obesity.

This journal also participates in a collection on “Food and Addiction” (https://link.springer.com/collections/didbdbicfe): “The aim of the Topical Collection on Food and Addiction is to collect invited articles or spontaneous manuscripts on comorbidity and the relations between eating/weight disorders and addictions. Food addiction is not yet an official diagnostic category (the only behavioral addiction recognized by DSM-5 is gambling addiction). However a growing number of studies suggests that for some people eating becomes compulsive and even addictive with dangerous effects. The controversial and intriguing concept of food addiction is a subject of great and current interest for research in the field of obesity and eating disorders. “

How can this help me?

While not directly supporting food addicts, the journal provides valuable scientific insights that can inform treatment approaches and enhance understanding of food addiction and related disorders.
