“…This correlation between a severe depressive symptomatology and ED severity validated the results of previous studies and confirmed expected hypothesis [2, 3, 30]. Moreover it is well known in literature that eating symptomatology is also associated with depression in women, even among those with no history of threshold-level eating disorder symptomatology [43]. …”

This study aimed to evaluate comorbidity for MD in a large ED sample and both personality and anger as clinical characteristics of patients with ED and MD. We assessed 838 ED patients with psychiatric evaluations and psychometric questionnaires: Temperament and Character Inventory, Eating Disorder Inventory-2, Beck Depression Inventory, and State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory. 19.5% of ED patients were found to suffer from comorbid MD and 48.7% reported clinically significant depressive symptomatology: patients with Anorexia Binge-Purging and Bulimia Nervosa were more likely to be diagnosed with MD. Irritable mood was found in the 73% of patients with MD. High Harm Avoidance (HA) and low Self-Directedness (SD) predicted MD independently of severity of the ED symptomatology, several clinical variables, and ED diagnosis. Assessing both personality and depressive symptoms could be useful to provide effective treatments. Longitudinal studies are needed to investigate the pathogenetic role of HA and SD for ED and MD.

“…In addition to these sociocultural factors, there are also psychological dimensions that are robust correlates of disordered eating behaviors (Tylka and Subich 2004). Among young women, dysregulated eating behaviors are linked to depressive symptomatology in both clinical and non-clinical samples (Cooper et al 2005;Jackson et al 2003;Keel et al 2005;Troop et al 2001;Wildes et al 2005;Wonderlich and Mitchell 1997). Moreover, there is evidence of comorbidity with depression in patterns of both restrained and over-eating.…”

Restrained and binge eating are related to depressive symptomatology in women; we examined the role of ruminative coping in this association. Sample participants (N=329) were female college students in the Midwestern U.S. who completed a health behaviors survey. Multiple regression models examining the pathway between eating (restrained and bingeing, respectively) and depressive symptoms were tested; ruminative coping was examined as the mediator in all models. Models in which dysregulated eating predicted depressive symptoms explained more variance than those testing the reverse pathway. Ruminative coping fully mediated the association between restrained eating and depressive symptoms and partially mediated the association between binge eating and depressive symptoms. Findings suggest ruminative coping is a mechanism linking disordered eating and depressive symptoms.

“…As psychic symptoms can influence the body image negatively [7,8], we supposed that there will be a negative correlation between psychic symptoms and body image, too.…”

“…The body image plays an important role in research on eating disorders [4], but during the last few years it has become relevant for other populations, too [5,6]. In some studies, relations between body concept and psychic disorders like depression or anxiety have been found [7,8]. …”

Background: There are only a few studies about the body concept of patients with chronic pruritus. We examined the body concept of this group of patients taking into account subgroup-specific differences, limitations of quality of life and the comparison to patients with eating disorders and a healthy control group. Methods: 284 participants with chronic pruritus filled in the Frankfurt Body Concept Scale, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Dermatology Life Quality Index. Statistical analysis was performed using t tests, variance analysis and Pearson's correlations. Results: Patients with chronic pruritus had a more negative body concept than healthy individuals but a less negative concept than patients with eating disorders. Higher levels of depression and anxiety were related to a more negative body image. Conclusion: The body concept of patients with chronic pruritus should be taken into consideration when planning therapy. Whether the body concept changes after successful treatment has to be examined in further studies.
