 In this study, it was found that self-report questionnaires do not accurately reflect the number of mental disorders present in elite athletes. Instead, diagnostic interviews and diagnostic instruments should be used to better understand the prevalence of mental disorders in this population. The results showed that sleep problems and body dysmorphic disorder, BDD, were the most common mental disorders, followed by anxiety disorders, eating disorders, alcohol use disorder, and effective disorders. Further longitudinal studies are necessary to explore these findings further.
