Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the field of feeding and eating disorders evolves, new research continues to bridge the gap between metabolic and psychiatric understandings of these disorders. To capture these advancements, this Special Issue invites submissions of original research, secondary analyses, and meta-analytic insights.
Our scope encompasses all established diagnoses (e.g., anorexia and bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, avoidant restrictive food intake disorder, pica, rumination-regurgitation disorder) alongside emerging clinical entities like atypical anorexia and bulimia nervosa, purging disorder and night eating syndrome.
In particular, we seek contributions that offer fresh diagnostic, therapeutic, and nutritional perspectives, or evaluate the efficacy of new interventions like novel nutritional or other approaches (e.g., microbiome-based treatments, psychedelics and GLP-1 receptor agonists), or virtual reality-based or AI-powered interventions.
Prof. Dr. Hubertus Himmerich
