Summary
The investigators will examine whether compulsivity in those who score above-average (but below clinical cut-off) on an eating disorder questionnaire can be altered by 9 days of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC). N-acetyl cysteine has been shown to be of some benefit in individuals with other compulsive disorders, such as trichotillomania and addiction, so this research investigates whether a short period of time taking N-acetyl cysteine changes compulsivity, measured using cognitive tasks and questionnaires.
