Research suggests that high comorbidity exists between eating disorders (EDs) and PTSD. In fact, some studies report that up to 90% of individuals suffering from EDs have experienced at least one traumatic event in their lifetime. Those who enter ED treatment with co-occurring PTSD tend to exhibit more severe eating disorder pathology, poorer treatment outcomes, and higher relapse rates compared to those without PTSD. Historically, evidence-based treatment models for EDs have primarily focused on addressing ED symptoms and behaviors, often overlooking co-occurring psychological conditions such as PTSD. However, in recent years, there has been growing recognition within the field of eating disorder treatment of the limitations of this approach. As a result, there is increasing emphasis on integrating evidence- based PTSD treatments into ED treatment to better support individuals with this dual diagnosis. This activity will explore the intersection of EDs and trauma, examine what current research reveals about their co-occurrence and discuss strategies for effectively addressing this complex comorbidity within treatment settings.
