Ms. Carmony鈥檚 capstone project explored current diagnoses and
connections between eating disorders and borderline personality disorder. Her
presentation abstract is included below:
听Borderline personality disorder (BPD) and eating disorders have grown to be more commonly known after their portrayal in media and increased representation in research. There has been minimal research regarding the association between these diagnoses. This cross-sectional study used a brief survey to examine the relationship between symptoms of BPD and the five eating disorder diagnoses listed in the DSM V. Findings examined the connection and potential crossover of symptoms and provided information that can help professionals apply improved treatment methods and explore preventative measures against developing an eating disorder as a direct or in-direct result of BPD symptoms.
