An assessment was made to determine whether major depression or dysthymia was associated more strongly with the onset of bulimia. It was revealed that dysthymia was a stronger correlate with bulimia than major depression, and that the presence of dysthymia in adolescence might be a possible risk factor for the development of bulimia nervosa.
