Restricted food intake a predictor of increased suicide attempts in Body Dysmorphic Disorder patients

Medical Xpress – Rhode Island Hospital and Auburn University researchers found a link between restrictive food intake, or excessive dieting, and an increase in suicide attempts in people with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD).

The paper is published in the journal Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, and is now available online in advance of print.
