The patient's view on quality of life and eating disorders

Article Abstract:

Personal views of eating disorder (ED) patients on their quality of life (QOL) were explored to examine differences between anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and ED not otherwise specified (EDNOS) patients as well as between purging and nonpurging ED patients. The findings suggest that the use of an individualized measure would enable clinicians to better understand the perception of the QOL of an individual ED patient which would be helpful in formulating treatment goals making the treatment more patient centered.
