Objective: To further refine our understanding of impulsivity, obsessions, and compulsions in anorexia nervosa (AN) by isolating which behaviours--binge eating, purging, or both--are associated with these features.
Methods: We conducted regression analyses with binge eating, purging, and the interaction of binge eating with purging as individual predictors of scores for impulsivity, obsessions, and compulsions in two samples of women with AN (n = 1373).
Results: Purging, but not binge eating, was associated with higher scores on impulsivity, obsessions, and compulsions. Purging was also associated with worst eating rituals and with worst eating preoccupations.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that purging, compared with binge eating, may be a stronger correlate of impulsivity, obsessions, and compulsions in AN.

The substantial evidence supporting the ketogenic diet (KD) in epilepsy management has spurred research into its effects on other neurological and psychiatric conditions. Despite differences in characteristics, symptoms, and underlying mechanisms, these conditions share common pathways that the KD may influence. The KD reverses metabolic dysfunction.

Objective: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is associated with altered brain function related to processing of negative emotions. To investigate neural correlates of negative valence in OCD, we pooled fMRI data of 633 individuals with OCD and 453 healthy controls from 16 studies using different negatively-valenced tasks across the ENIGMA-OCD Working-Group.
Methods: Participant data were processed uniformly using HALFpipe, to extract voxelwise participant-level statistical images of one common first-level contrast: negative vs.

Article Synopsis
- Gambling disorder is the only recognized behavioral addiction in DSM-5, while Internet gaming disorder is noted for further research; other potential disorders include compulsive sexual behavior, compulsive shopping, and social media issues.
- These disorders are clinically relevant and often coexist with conditions like depression and anxiety, with validated diagnostic tools available but no approved medications for treatment.
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy shows the most promise, highlighting the need for active screening and public health efforts, along with further research into treatment methods that combine various therapeutic approaches.
A narrative review of relationship obsessive-compulsive disorder: Characteristics, causes and cognitive-behavioural interventions.
Neuro Endocrinol Lett
November 2024

Article Synopsis
- The paper explores relationship obsessive-compulsive disorder (R-OCD), detailing its obsessions, compulsions, triggers, and effects on mental health and relationships.
- It utilizes a narrative review method, analyzing literature and case studies from reputable databases, focusing on studies published in English over a 33-year period.
- The findings indicate that individuals with R-OCD struggle with intrusive thoughts about their relationship, leading to compulsive behaviors that ultimately harm both their mental state and their relationships; cognitive-behavioral strategies can help mitigate these issues.
Objective: Cross-sectional studies in children with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have found larger thalamic volume, which is not found at later ages. We previously found that 9- to 12-year-old children from the general population with clinical-level obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS) also have a larger thalamus. Thus, using a longitudinal design, we studied the relationship among thalamic volume, cortical maturation, and the course of OCS.
