Perfectionism as a moderator of the relationship between orthorexia nervosa and obsessive-compulsive symptoms

Findings help refine our current understanding of ON phenomenology with implications for ON treatment development. Future research should further explore perfectionism in ON phenomenology.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V (Opinions of respected authorities, based on descriptive studies, narrative reviews, clinical experience, or reports of expert committees).PMID:38198059 | PMC:PMC10781834 | DOI:10.1007/s40519-023-01629-1
