“…The association between binge-purging and suicide attempts has been hypothesized to be mainly mediated by impulsive traits and emotional dysregulation (Favaro and Santonastaso, 1996; Milos et al ., 2004; Fedorowicz et al ., 2007; Foulon et al ., 2007; Forcano et al ., 2011; Bodell et al ., 2013; Pisetsky et al ., 2013). Other associated features can be substance use/abuse (Favaro and Santonastaso, 1997; Fedorowicz et al ., 2007), persistent and impairing symptoms in binge-purging disorders (Favaro and Santonastaso, 1997; Wade et al ., 2015), and an overall higher rate of other comorbid psychiatric disorders (von Lojewski et al ., 2012). However, according to some evidence, increased comorbid disorders in binge-purging ED subtypes would not fully explain the increase of suicidal risk (Fedorowicz et al ., 2007: 128; Bodell et al ., 2013: 68).…”
