“…perceived stress, stress regulation, environment, anxiety/depression) contributing to its dysregulation. There are common neurobiological and neurocognitive regulation mechanisms shared by eating behaviour, addictions and internalizing disorders (Mercer and Bird, ). The common denominator of these conditions is “a persistent disturbance of eating behaviour or behaviour intended to control weight and eating” (First and Tasman, ).…”

Psychology as a science offers an enormous diversity of theories, principles, and methodological approaches to understand mental health, abnormal functions and behaviours and mental disorders. A selected overview of the scope, current topics as well as strength and gaps in Psychological Science may help to depict the advances needed to inform future research agendas specifically on mental health and mental disorders. From an integrative psychological perspective, most maladaptive health behaviours and mental disorders can be conceptualized as the result of developmental dysfunctions of psychological functions and processes as well as neurobiological and genetic processes that interact with the environment. The paper presents and discusses an integrative translational model, linking basic and experimental research with clinical research as well as population-based prospective-longitudinal studies. This model provides a conceptual framework to identify how individual vulnerabilities interact with environment over time, and promote critical behaviours that might act as proximal risk factors for ill-health and mental disorders. Within the models framework, such improved knowledge is also expected to better delineate targeted preventive and therapeutic interventions that prevent further escalation in early stages before the full disorder and further complications thereof develop. In contrast to conventional "personalized medicine" that typically targets individual (genetic) variation of patients who already have developed a disease to improve medical treatment, the proposed framework model, linked to a concerted funding programme of the "Science of Behaviour Change", carries the promise of improved diagnosis, treatment and prevention of health-risk behaviour constellations as well as mental disorders.

“…To address some of these issues, this case study describes a public engagement event initiated and presented by scientists from the EU-funded NeuroFAST project as part of the British Science Festival held in Aberdeen, Scotland, in September 2012. The members of this EU project have recently published a special issue titled ‘Food Addiction: Fact or Fiction – the NeuroFAST Project’ in O BESITY F ACTS [ 3 ]. The event addressed the controversial and high profile area of ‘food addiction’, a topic that has received a lot of attention in the popular media in the last decade, reflecting the commitment of the European Commission and the NeuroFAST project to engage the public in dialogue about funded science.…”
