Cover Story: Although research suggests that exercise benefits mental health, psychiatric disorders have been acknowledged in the ultra-endurance athlete (UEA) population. Presently, the mental-health consequences of high-volume training in ultra-endurance sports are not well understood. We summarized observations about mental disorders according to the ICD-11 criteria in UEA using a keyword search in Scopus and PubMed. The evidence indicates that there is a sizable incidence of psychopathological vulnerabilities in this community. UEA may represent a different, although similar, demographic than elite athletes, often engaging in high-volume training with high motivation. This can have regulatory implications, which we highlight in this review. Psychiatric disorders in UEA are an underrepresented topic in sports medicine, although they may be especially prevalent in this population. View this paper
