Evaluating the use of lamotrigine to reduce mood lability and impulsive behaviors in adults with chronic and severe eating disorders.

Author
Abstract
:

Gold-standard psychological and pharmacological treatments for bulimic-spectrum eating disorders only result in remission for around 50% of patients; patients with affective lability and impulsivity represent a subgroup with particularly poor outcomes. Both dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), a treatment for emotion dysregulation, and lamotrigine, a mood stabilizer, have demonstrated promise for targeting affective lability and impulsivity; however, data exploring the combination of these interventions remain limited.
