“…Finally, disproportionately few mental health professionals reflect the cultural and ethnic characteristics of those in need of care. Indeed, eating disorders have been found to affect individuals across all racial and ethnic groups (Marques et al, ; Perez, Ohrt, & Hoek, ). Individuals do not necessarily have to be treated by persons of the same racial/ethnic and cultural group with which they identify.…”

Remarkable progress has been made in developing psychosocial interventions for eating disorders and other mental disorders. Two priorities in providing treatment consist of addressing the research-practice gap and the treatment gap. The research-practice gap pertains to the dissemination of evidence-based treatments from controlled settings to routine clinical care. Closing the gap between what is known about effective treatment and what is actually provided to patients who receive care is crucial in improving mental health care, particularly for conditions such as eating disorders. The treatment gap pertains to extending treatments in ways that will reach the large number of people in need of clinical care who currently receive nothing. Currently, in the United States (and worldwide), the vast majority of individuals in need of mental health services for eating disorders and other mental health problems do not receive treatment. This article discusses the approaches required to better ensure: 1) that more people who are receiving treatment obtain high-quality, evidence-based care, using such strategies as train-the-trainer, web-centered training, best-buy interventions, electronic support tools, higher-level support and policy; and 2) that a higher proportion of those who are currently underserved receive treatment, using such strategies as task shifting and disruptive innovations, including treatment delivery via telemedicine, the Internet, and mobile apps.

“…So-called “food addiction” has been hypothesized to underlie many cases of obesity and eating disorders, which may collectively comprise the most prevalent and deadliest form of addictive behavior (Agh et al, 2016; Fichter & Quadflieg, 2016; Flegal, Kit, Orpana, & Graubard, 2013; Flegal, Kruszon-Moran, Carroll, Fryar, & Ogden, 2016; Hoang, Goldacre, & James, 2014; Kroes, Osei-Assibey, Baker-Searle, & Huang, 2016; Micali et al, 2017; Mitchell, 2016; Olguin et al, 2017; Perez, Ohrt, & Hoek, 2016; Smink, van Hoeken, & Hoek, 2013; Westmoreland, Krantz, & Mehler, 2016). In the United States, ~3 of 4 men and 2 of 3 women were overweight (25<body mass index [BMI]<30) or obese (BMI>30) in 2013–2014, and ~33% of overweight/obese people (and ~54% of patients undergoing bariatric surgery for obesity) met diagnostic criteria of the Yale Food Addiction Scale (Flegal et al, 2016; Long, Blundell, & Finlayson, 2015; Pursey, Stanwell, Gearhardt, Collins, & Burrows, 2014).…”

Drug addiction is a complex disorder that is characterized by compulsivity to seek and take the drug, loss of control in limiting intake of the drug, and emergence of a withdrawal syndrome in the absence of the drug. The transition from casual drug use to dependence is mediated by changes in reward and brain stress functions and has been linked to a shift from positive reinforcement to negative reinforcement. The recruitment of brain stress systems mediates the negative emotional state produced by dependence that drives drug seeking through negative reinforcement mechanisms, defined as the “dark side” of addiction. In this chapter we focus on behavioral and cellular neuropharmacological studies that have implicated brain stress systems (i.e., corticotropin-releasing factor [CRF]) in the transition to addiction and the predominant brain regions involved. We also discuss the implication of CRF recruitment in compulsive eating disorders.

“…There are no cut-off points, the results should be interpreted as a measure of the intensity of OC behaviors. The BE Scale, validated in Mexican population and Hispanics/Latinos residing in the United States [33], is a self-reported 16-item questionnaire. Each item includes 4 statements that measure the severity of the trait and are scored on a scale from 0 to 3 points.…”

Background/Aims: The alterations of eating behavior are insufficiently recognized in the clinical attention of adults with obesity. The objective of this study was to examine the characteristics of overeating behavior and its association with depression, perceived stress, acylated ghrelin, nestafin-1, and cortisol. Methods: This cross-sectional comparative study included 80 participants with obesity and 50 with normal weight. The volunteers completed questionnaires to evaluate symptoms of food addiction (FA), obsessive compulsive, binge eating (BE), depression, and perceived stress. We measured glucose, lipids, acylated ghrelin, nesfatin-1, and insulin in a fasting blood sample as well as urine cortisol. We compared groups with students t test, and analysis of variance, and tested associations by logistic and multiple regression. Results: By multiple regression, the BE total score was positively associated with the FA (p < 0.0001) and depression total score (p < 0.0001). By logistic regression, the positive score of FA was associated with ghrelin (p < 0.02). The perceived stress total score was associated negatively with cortisol (p < 0.0006). Conclusion: The BE and FA are strongly associated in agreement with the concept that both conditions have overlapping features. Depressive symptoms are associated with symptoms of disordered eating behavior. FA positive score was associated with ghrelin. BE total score was associated with nesfatin-1.
