"Our findings show that CPTSD symptoms are more strongly associated than PTSD symptoms with restrictive and binge-purging Anorexia Nervosa (AN). Moreover, CPTSD symptoms are a significant predictor of both AN manifestations. Further findings indicate that dissociative experiences fully mediate the link between CPTSD symptoms and restrictive and binge-purging AN. However, emotion dysregulation did not mediate these relationships, as expected.
Therefore, for patients diagnosed with #anorexia nervosa, regardless of its type, screening and interventions for #CPTSD symptomatology and dissociative experiences can contribute to treatment and recovery."
