The effects can manifest in men in the form of depression, substance misuse and an alarmingly high suicide rate. (Canetto & Sakinofsky, 1998).

Study shows: Neurofeedback has a positive effect on the treatment of an eating disorder

The study addresses the question of whether infra-low frequency (ILF) neurofeedback has positive effects on adults suffering from an eating disorder. To find out, the participants in the study were divided into two groups, with one group receiving ILF neurofeedback and the other group receiving only a placebo. The study “Infra-Low Frequency Neurofeedback in the Treatment of Patients With Chronic Eating Disorder and Comorbid Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder” by Winkler et al. shows that the positive effect of neurofeedback treatment is already measurable after 12 sessions.
