Abstract

Eating is essential to the survival of any living organism. However, beyond simple nutrition, eating is a source of pleasure that awakens a host of emotions and shapes our first relationships. In eating disorders, this vital process becomes a source of psychological distress, with somatic consequences and an impact on the functioning of the individual and his/her environment. Recently, new diagnostic and etiopathogenic approaches have led to a better understanding of these disorders. The use of innovative techniques, such as neuromodulation, virtual reality, and psychedelics, is paving the way for more targeted and individualized therapies.

S’alimenter est essentiel à la survie de tout organisme vivant. Cependant, au-delà de la simple nutrition, manger est une source de plaisir qui provoque en nous une foule d’émotions et façonne nos premières relations. Dans les troubles du comportement alimentaire, ce processus vital se transforme en source de souffrance psychique, entraînant des conséquences somatiques et impactant le fonctionnement de l’individu et de son entourage. Récemment, de nouvelles approches diagnostiques et étiopathogéniques ont permis une meilleure compréhension de ces troubles. L’application de techniques innovantes, telles que la neuromodulation, la réalité virtuelle et les psychédéliques, ouvre la voie à des thérapies plus ciblées et individualisées.
