Predictors of Therapy Outcome in Eating Disorders: from Psychopathology to Personality

Eating disorders are severe mental disorders, with high mortality rates and high incidence in adolescence and early adulthood, especially in women. The course of these disorders is uncertain and treatment outcomes are limited. Several factors such as duration of the disorder, dysfunctional personality traits and cognitive profiles, as well as genetic vulnerabilities, will influence adherence and response to treatment. In this presentation we will include recent results on prospective observational studies, analyzing personality and cognitive predictors of treatment response in eating disorders, as well as potential associated neurobiomarkers.
