Novel Mechanistic Insights into Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors in Individuals with Eating Pathology: Brain and Body Responsivity As Transdiagnostic Links
Individuals with eating pathologies face elevated risk for self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs). While existing theories on suicide are valuable for understanding risk, specific mechanisms promoting SITBs in this population remain underexplored. Our multimodal, multidisciplinary research highlights brain and body responsivity as a novel mechanism driving SITBs in eating pathologies.
