Mental Pain and Psychological Correlates in Individuals With Gender Dysphoria
Background: Previous studies have observed high mental distress in individuals with gender dysphoria (GD). A deeper investigation on constructs underlying mental distress in this specific population is warranted, given the high burden of neglected health needs. Aims: To assess mental pain levels in individuals with GD, compared to a control group, and to evaluate potential psychological correlates. Method: In this case-control study, 180 individu…

Predictors of stigma toward transgender and gender nonconforming individuals among registered dieticians and dietetics students
Medical Child Abuse
Despite its low prevalence, MCA poses serious clinical and ethical challenges. Early detection requires thorough documentation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and improved access to shared medical records. The GAIA model offers a replicable framework for effective multidisciplinary management
Digital mental health in Italy
National initiatives should firstly address education and training needs of the youngest mental health professionals, particularly those without a mentor/supervisor experienced in providing DMH/DP and in educating younger professionals in the digital clinical practice. Sex-sensitive consolidating strategies should be implemented in those mental health services already digitalized. Longitudinal studies should evaluate the efficacy in the long-term…
The role of perceived parental overprotection in women's restrained eating behavior
Restrained eating behavior (REB) refers to the tendency to rigidly restrict one's eating behavior in everyday life to influence body shape or weight. Parental overprotection, alexithymia, perfectionism, and asceticism are associated with REB among women. However, no studies have examined these variables simultaneously, integrating them into a theoretical model. In the current study, the combined influences of these variables on women's REB were t…
Predictors of dietary orientation among registered dietitians and dietetics students
Interest has arisen regarding different dietary approaches, namely prescriptive vs non-dieting approaches. Nonetheless, evidence on which individual factors orient professionals toward either approach is currently lacking for dietetics students and registered dietitians (RDN). For this reason, the present study aimed at investigating personal and interpersonal factors associated with the adoption of such approaches in dietary practice. This cross…
Body-Size Perception among First-Generation Chinese Migrants in Italy
Body-size perception is an important factor in motivating people to lose weight. Study aim was to explore the perception of body image among first-generation Chinese migrants living in Italy. A sample of 1258 Chinese first-generation immigrants and of 285 native Italians living in Prato, Italy, underwent blood pressure measurements, blood tests (with measurement of glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides), and anthropometric measurements. Body-si…
Attachment Style and Childhood Traumatic Experiences Moderate the Impact of Initial and Prolonged Covid-19 Pandemic
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health has not been clarified yet, with multiple studies warranting a special focus on women and young adults. A sample of 101 Italian women recruited from the general population was evaluated a few weeks before the onset of the pandemic and during the first and the second wave of the pandemic. Depression values at the Brief Symptom Inventory showed an initial increase followed by a stabilization on h…
Predictors of Resumption of Menses in Anorexia Nervosa
OBJECTIVE: Amenorrhea is a disabling medical consequence of anorexia nervosa (AN); therefore, resumption of menses (ROM) represents an important goal in the treatment for these patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate possible clinical, psychopathological, and biological predictors of ROM, including age, body mass index (BMI), AN subtype, childhood abuse, duration of illness, general and eating disorder (ED)-specific psychopathology…
Gender Dysphoria and Anorexia Nervosa Symptoms in Two Adolescents
Insecure Attachment and Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Functioning in People With Eating Disorders
OBJECTIVE: Childhood attachment experiences affect adult emotion regulation and ability to cope with stressors. Therefore, insecure attachment may influence the functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and a dysregulation of HPA axis has been found in insecure attached healthy individuals. The effects of attachment on HPA axis activity have never been investigated in eating disorders (EDs). Therefore, we assessed the relations…
Interactions Between Depression and Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms
OBJECTIVES: Depression and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTSs) have been found to co-occur among aging men. The present study attempted to clarify the nature of this relationship, considering adverse life events as potential moderators and the inflammation as an underlying biological mechanism. METHODS: The relationship between depression and LUTS was evaluated using data from the European Male Ageing Study, the largest multicenter population-ba…
Diagnostic Crossover and Outcome Predictors in Eating Disorders According to DSM-IV and DSM-V Proposed Criteria
Objective: To evaluate in a 6-year follow-up study the course of a large clinical sample of patients with eating disorders (EDs) who were treated with individual cognitive behavior therapy. The diagnostic crossover, recovery, and relapses were assessed, applying both Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) and the DSM-V proposed criteria. Patients with EDs move in and out of illness states over time, display…
