The relationship between exercise addiction, eating disorders, and insecure attachment styles among recreational exercisers.

Background: Exercise addiction (EA) and eating disorders (ED) frequently co-occur in both professional and amateur athletes, with up to 48% of individuals with EA also exhibiting symptoms of ED. Furthermore, pathological attachment styles have been linked to both EA and ED. The current study aimed to explore the unique association between types of insecure attachment styles (i.

Evaluating the clinical impact of involuntary admission to a specialized dual diagnosis ward.

Background: We aimed to identify characteristics and outcomes of involuntary and voluntary admissions of dual-diagnosis patients in a single, large mental health center in Israel.

Results: No significant differences were found in sociodemographic characteristics, admission diagnosis and length of hospitalization between the two types of admission.

It follows that the number of alternatives available for choice does not affect post-decisional regret.
