[The Prevalence of Eating Disorders and Comorbid Psychiatric Disorders in the Sivas ProvinceNeuropsychological Assessment in Conversion Disorder].

CONCLUSION: The results of this study show that the point prevalence rate for EDs among all the participants was 1.52%, with binge eating disorder being the most prevalent ED. Psychiatric co-morbidity is common in patients with eating disorders. An ED is a disease that can be seen in different age groups and socioeconomic levels. Studies with larger samples, including different regions of the country and different age groups, and with diagnoses that have been confirmed by clinical interviews, are required.
