new pub alert ⚠️ did you know that there are currently no evidence-based eating disorder interventions that provide
explicit guidelines for treating co-occurring AN/AAN and suicidality? in this new (open access) article, we demonstrate how idiographic networks could be used to address this gap.

Background Nomothetic (i.e., on average) eating disorder interventions generally provide insufficient guidance for managing suicidality. The present proof-of-concept study demonstrates how idiographic...

Eating disorders are among the deadliest mental health conditions & they often become chronic.

Yet Trump’s HHS is cutting eating disorder research & the MAHA report doesn’t mention them.

This isn’t just suppressing science - it’s a decision that will cost lives.

Eating disorder research defunded despite MAHA focus on chronic conditions
Experts on eating disorders like anorexia worry that research funding cuts mean patients won't get the care they need.

We will not stand down. We will continue to fight so that people do not die and lose their joy because of eating disorders.

Can you help us fight back in the face of tyranny so we can continue our forward momentum?
