“Research demonstrates that 55-95% of people diagnosed with an eating disorder also receive a diagnosis for at least one more psychiatric disorder. The most common psychiatric disorders that co-occur with eating disorders include mood disorders, anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, personality disorders and neurodevelopmental disorders. Non-suicidal self-injury and suicidality are also common in patients with eating disorders.”
