“…Many studies have been conducted to investigate psychological and cognitive factors related to BN (Rowe et al, 2010; Woldt et al, 2010). Several physiological factors associated with BN have also been described, such as enlarged stomach capacity (Geliebter et al, 1992), rare cardiac complications (Suri et al, 1999), stomach ruptures (Abdu et al, 1987), and neurochemical alterations (Kaye et al, 2005).…”

There is growing evidence supporting a multifactorial etiology that includes genetic, neurochemical, and physiological components for eating disorders above and beyond the more conventional theories based on psychological and sociocultural factors. Ghrelin is one of the key gut signals associated with appetite, and the only known circulating hormone that triggers a positive energy balance by stimulating food intake. This review summarizes recent findings and several conflicting reports on ghrelin in eating disorders. Understanding these findings and inconsistencies may help in developing new methods to prevent and treat patients with these disorders.

“…They showed that the complex personality disorder group had greater Axis I comorbidity and psychopathology than the remaining three groups at pretreatment, and that there were no differences in eating disorder outcome, general psychosocial functioning, and depressive symptoms across the four groups at 1‐year and 3‐year follow up. These findings suggest that having an increased number of personality disorders comorbid with bulimia nervosa does not influence eating disorder outcome, depressive symptoms, or general psychosocial functioning up to 3 years after treatment 8 . To our knowledge, however, there is no study regarding the combination effect of temperaments on QOL and social adaptation in patients with mood disorder.…”

Aims:The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of temperament on quality of life and social adaptation in depressive patients with mood disorder.Methods: Forty-six consecutive depressive outpatients were investigated by using the Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San DiegoAutoquestionnaire version, the Munich Personality Test, the World Health Organization Quality of Life 26 (WHO QOL 26), and the Social Adaptation Selfevaluation Scale (SASS). The unpaired t-test, Pearson's r and multiple regression analysis were used to assess three variables (age, the number of temperaments and/or personality types, and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale scores) as independent variables with the scores of WHO QOL 26 and SASS as the dependent variables. Results:The number of temperaments and/or personalities and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale scores were significantly and negatively associated with WHO QOL 26 scores while only the number of temperaments and/or personalities was significantly and negatively associated with SASS scores. Conclusions:The findings suggest that the combination of temperaments and/or personality types assessed with the Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego-Autoquestionnaire version and the Munich Personality Test may worsen both quality of life and social adaptation and that some temperaments and/or personality types in combination may be subclinical manifestations of mood disorders.

Is personality the key in cognitive‐behavioural therapy for eating disorders? A review

The efficacy of individual cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) for eating disorders can be assessed by investigating the potential predictors, mediators and moderators of treatment. The present review focused on personality since its crucial role has been emphasized both by research and practice. Sixteen studies were collected, and data were extracted through a highly operationalized coding system. Overall, personality disorders were the most investigated construct; however, their influence was somewhat contradictory. A more cogent result occurred for borderline personality disorder (BPD) when considered as a moderator (not a predictor nor a mediator).Patients with a more disturbed borderline personality benefited to a greater extent from treatments including booster modules on affects, interpersonal relationships and mood intolerance, rather than symptoms exclusively. Nine additional personality dimensions, beyond BPD, were investigated sparsely, and results regarding them were barely indicative in this review. However, some of these dimensions (e.g., affective lability and stimulus-seeking behaviours) could be traced back to BPD, thereby strengthening evidence of the role of borderline disorder as a moderator.Although research on the relationship between personality and eating disorders needs to be increased and methodologically improved, personality, taken as a whole, emerged as a promising variable for enhancing the efficacy of CBT.
