Anorexia nervosa, psychopathology, and outcome
Article Abstract:
A UK study of 35 UK anorexic patients, psychiatric patients, and groups of people with no clinical disorder looked at the differences between anorexics suffering from comorbid depression and those who were not depressed. Anorexics and psychiatric patients had similar Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) ratings. There were great differences between those with no clinical disorder, known as community controls, and anorexics with comorbid depression, but little difference in ratings between community controls and non-depressive anorexics.
