Key takeaways
- Functional relations between eating disorder and OCD symptoms, n = 303
- Distinct clusters, few potential bridges between ED and OCD
- Eating disorder examination questionnaire (EDE-Q) and Y-BOCS self-rated
- Fear of weight gain was the most central node on expected influence.
- Interference due to obsessions was the most central symptom in the OCD-cluster
Surprisingly, the many similarities between EDs and OCD did not emerge as strong bridges between syndromes which speak in favor of conceptualizing ED and OCD as distinct disorders
