Our latest groundbreaking research was recently published about the association between major depressive and bipolar disorders and eating disorders. Â The research article was written collaboratively by Molly Perlman and Guilia Suro from Monte Nido & Affiliates and also by Ismael Gavidia and Timothy D. Brewerton.
These findings have important implications for prevention, treatment and long-term follow-up and highlight the need for early trauma-focused treatment of eating disorder patients with comorbid mood disorders and PTSD. The study supports our previously published research on the benefits of trauma-integrated care. Â

Key insights include:
- 76.4% of adults who are admitted to our resident treatment programs have mood disorders. Â
- Those with a bipolar disorder diagnosis showed higher rates of trauma, current PTSD, and severity of ED, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. Â
- Those with major depressive disorder also had higher rates compared to the group who did not have mood disorders. Â
