Individuals diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) search for pleasurable foods to avoid their negative emotional experiences. An ineffective regulation of negative emotions may be a risk factor for emotional eating, leading to suffering, dysfunctional behaviors and weight gain. The aim of this study is to understand the relationship between emotional dysregulation and emotional eating, investigating potential mediators as the intensity of the worry, avoidance of internal experiences, mindfulness and self-compassion in female anxious patients.
