A rosetrees funded project in partnership with mq has found a genetic link between eating disorders and suicidal ideation. eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder are more than just struggles with food and body image. In this study, we utilized a multivariate approach to examine the shared genetic architecture of eating disorder symptoms, suicidal thoughts and behaviors in ~20,000 participants from the covid 19 psychiatry and neurological genetics (coping) study.
