Abstract
Purpose of the review: The purpose of this review is to report on prevalence of co-occurrence, possible etiologic mechanisms, and course and treatment implications of each of these challenging clinical disorders (Autism Spectrum Disorder, Eating Disorders, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder) comorbid with Personality Disorders.
Recent findings: These comorbidities often increase the symptom severity, worsen the course and outcome, and increase the risk of self-harm and suicidal behavior. For EDs and PTSD, existing therapies may prove somewhat helpful but novel approaches are needed and under investigation in the context of comorbid PDs and ASD, EDs and PTSD to address common underlying diatheses. Treatments for these comorbid disorders need to incorporate interventions addressing suicide risk, emotion dysregulation, be trauma-informed and attend to patient engagement. Future research should prioritize studying the course and outcome of ASD comorbid with PDs, novel therapies for EDs comorbid with PDs; refining the concept of Complex PTSD and commencing study of SSD comorbid with PDs.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published research in psychiatry. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by psychiatric disorders.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as anxiety, medicopsychiatric disorders, and schizophrenia and other related psychotic disorders. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
