Writer's picture: Melinda KarthMelinda Karth

May 29, 2022. In this post I discuss the role of serotonin in the development and maintenance of eating disorders.


Key Points:


  • Serotonin is involved in many functions, including digestion, mood, anxiety, stress, appetite, and cardiovascular health.


  • Serotonin works by muting certain cells, which changes cell conversations.


  • People who binge eat could have low serotonin levels, while people who food restrict might have high serotonin levels.


  • Understanding serotonin's role in eating disorders can guide drug treatments for these illnesses.
