Depression and anxiety: predictors of eating disorder symptoms and substance addiction severity

Abstract: Depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem are frequently associated with eating and substance use disorders (SUD). Given the high prevalence of concurrent disorders in individuals with eating and substance use problems, it is critical to identify other psychological factors important for consideration in treatment of this population. Individuals (N ¼ 314) seeking treatment for eating disorder (ED) and problematic substance use were administered a self-report questionnaire battery. Regression analyses indicated … Show more

“…It is worth noting that environmental stressors, which can contribute to mental ill-health and maladaptive coping responses, including substance use, played a significant role in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and earthquakes ( 44 , 45 ). The documented increase in depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms during these challenging times aligns with findings from other studies ( 46–48 ). Importantly, depression and anxiety symptoms have known associations with addictive behavior ( 46 ), while stress is independently associated with SMI ( 49 ).…”

“…The documented increase in depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms during these challenging times aligns with findings from other studies ( 46–48 ). Importantly, depression and anxiety symptoms have known associations with addictive behavior ( 46 ), while stress is independently associated with SMI ( 49 ). This heightened stress level not only exacerbates the risk of substance use and addictive behavior but also underscores the importance of effective mental health interventions, particularly in times of crisis.…”

“…Anxiety and depressive symptoms often co-occur, are associated with additional problems in adolescence (e.g., decreased academic performance, eating disorders, externalizing problems, substance use), and may persist into adulthood (Anderson & Hope, 2008; Masten et al, 2005; Shapira & Courbasson, 2011). Changes associated with the transition to adolescence may be perceived as stressful among some youth, resulting in increased reactivity and susceptibility to anxiety and depressive symptoms (Holder & Blaustein, 2014).…”

“… 45 This finding is in line with past research suggesting that GAD management is a key issue that needs to be addressed in SUD treatment or other healthcare settings. 22 Prior work suggests that those with comorbid SUD and internalizing mental health conditions report feeling more committed to their recovery efforts when they receive treatment that is tailored to addressing both their addiction and internalizing symptoms. 28 Therefore, screening for symptoms of depression and anxiety and referral to treatments or programs that can effectively address both comorbidities may be vital for improving patient health in this population.…”

“… 21 In addition, a recent study observed that feelings of low self-esteem and anxiety symptoms were predictive of substance use severity. 22 It is possible that if individuals experience temporary relief from their anxiety through substance use, then as one’s anxiety increases, their reliance on substances as an attempt to cope may also escalate. Similarly, other work has shown that individuals with internalizing disorders that have comorbid SUD experience greater disease and symptom severity than those without SUD.…”
