This study had two primary aims: (1) to examine the psychopathological profile and neurocognitive performance of patients with Eating Disorders (EDs), comparing those with Food Addiction (ED FA+) to those without (ED FA−), alongside a Healthy Control (HC) group; and (2) to explore potential correlations between neurocognitive performance and clinical-psychopathological variables.
Conclusion: The results underscore the need to assess Food Addiction in ED patients, as its presence may exacerbate symptom severity. Additionally, the results suggest that patients with EDs could benefit from incorporating cognitive rehabilitation into their treatment plans, regardless of FA status.
