Summary

Eating disorders are multifactorial disorders currently conceptualized in a biopsychosocial model, but pathophysiology remains relatively unknown, and robust etiological models to guide treatment are therefore lacking. Different endophenotypes and neurocognitive vulnerability factors have been found in eating disorders including decision making abnormalities. The investigators hypothesize that decision making abnormalities are associated with a lower level of functioning and quality of life which could lead to social and interpersonal difficulties. The investigators also hypothesize that these anomalies are associated with a particular clinical profile (more restrictive profile, more hyperactivity, less insight on the disease and desire for care ...).

Detailed description

The investigators will recruit a total of 340 patients with an eating disorder in the university hospital of Montpellier. * Participation consists of a one-day visit with a multidisciplinary assessment. No action is specific to research. This is the usual management of patients with eating disorders addressed to our department. * An ancillary study will be proposed, if the patient is addressed by his general practitioner for an annual evaluation. This second visit will be exactly the same as the initial visit.

Conditions

• Eating Disorder

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Ambulatory cares in a day-hospital (University Hospital of Montpellier) specialized in the evaluation of eating disorders	All patients assessed in the day-hospital will performed the same evaluation : * Blood sampling * Calorimetry * Osteodensitometry * Psychiatric assessment * Endocrinologic assessment * Dietetic assessment * Neuropsychological assessment * Self-questionnaires With the patient agreement, a biological collection will be constituted. The objective is the subsequent study of biological factors involved in eating disorders (in particular genetic factors)
