2. Eating Disorder Industry Will Grapple With Higher-Acuity Cases, AI, Ozempic-Related Challenges in 2024

I thought this was a fascinating article, written by Morgan Gonzales.

In the article, Morgan argues that the eating disorder industry will face a number of challenges over the next year.

The challenges will include …

• more acute cases, as eating disorders are becoming increasingly more common and more dangerous in western societies.

• disruption from telehealth centers that provide the entire continuum of case, such as Equip.

• A.I. will solve problems, and create new problem in the process.

In addition, Ozempic, the new weight loss drug, could create eating disorder problems on it’s own. Ironically, the pill could also solve many of the obesity problems that the country struggles with.

4. Are Subjective Beliefs the Missing Link in Treatment Effectiveness Studies?

In the world of medical science, the efficacy of treatments like neurostimulation, neurofeedback, brain training, and pharmacotherapy is often measured by comparing the outcomes of active treatments against placebos.

However, the new and innovative work of Luisa Fassi and her colleagues introduces a critical variable often neglected in such studies: the patient’s subjective beliefs and experiences.

Their analysis of four independent datasets involving 387 participants, including both clinical patients and healthy adults, reveals that an individual’s subjective beliefs about receiving active or placebo treatment can significantly influence the outcome of the treatment, often more so than the treatment itself.
