Anorexia Nervosa: Reduction in Depression during Inpatient Treatment Is Closely Related to Reduction in Eating Disorder Psychopathology

Abstract: Objective: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe mental disorder frequently associated with high scores of depressiveness. We examined the short-term effects of inpatient treatment on depressiveness and eating disorder (ED) psychopathology using the self-rating Major Depression Inventory (MDI) and Eating Disorder Examination questionnaire (EDEq) for patients with AN. Material: Forty-nine patients with AN, all part of the PROspective Longitudinal all-comer inclusion study on EDs (PROLED), were observed over eight w… Show more

“…Patients diagnosed with AN presented significantly higher scores on depression scales (BDI and HAMD) than the CG group, which is consistent with reports that up to 70% of patients with AN have comorbid depressive symptoms. Our results confirm that inpatient treatment of AN is associated with reduced depression and eating disorder ed (EAT-26) as reported in previous studies [ 35 , 36 ]. Moreover, AN1 group had higher obsessiveness and compulsivity measured with the CYBOCS scale than the AN2 and the CG group.…”

“…15,19 Mounting evidence implicates comorbid MDD as an especially important treatment target for achieving favorable outcomes in inpatient settings. 13,18,20 The global negative influence of depression and anxiety disorders on eating disorder psychopathology in both men and women have been further substantiated in population-representative surveys (associations that were independent of BMI, age, and income). 21 Further complicating the treatment of these patients is that weight gain in the early stages of AN inpatient treatment has been associated with exacerbation of depressive symptoms, which is believed to be an outcome conferred by effects of acute BMI increases on body dissatisfaction and weight/shape concerns.…”
