Investigating comorbid diagnosis of eating disorders and borderline personality disorder: prevalence and symptomatology

Description 
There is persuasive evidence for a relationship between eating disorders (EDs) and borderline personality disorder (BPD), both of which are devastating psychiatric illnesses. The aim of this study is to examine the prevalence of eating disorders in a population with BPD, and compare symptomatology in BPD patients, with and without eating disorders.
