“…However, this is not the opinion of McElroy et al (2011), who, in contrast, have demonstrated that ED are frequent in BD. In addition, a recent study has revived the debate, as it has been shown that familial BD increases the risk of developing an ED (Bould et al, 2014). Thus on the basis of these studies and clinical practice, we hypothesize that the frequency of BD in ED samples could be higher in severe ED samples than in the general population.…”

“…Although it is well documented that patients with ED and SFD have higher rates of health care use across multiple health care settings compared with the general population 5,9 and that psychological factors, such as denial, poor motivation, alexithymia (ie, difficulty identifying and verbally expressing feelings), and limited insight affect their health care use, [10][11][12][13] it is not known if they use services with the same rates and patterns. Furthermore, although other similarities can be gleaned from separate studies of patients with ED and patients with SFD (eg, female preponderance, 6,14 age of presentation in adolescence, 4,6 increased risk of ED and SFD in the offspring of parents with anxiety and depressive disorders 15,16 ), it remains unclear how much biopsychosocial characteristics overlap between these 2 patient groups. As such, the current study aims to describe the demographic and clinical characteristics and health care use of medically admitted children, adolescents, and young adults with ED and SFD at a tertiary teaching pediatric facility.…”

A B S T R A C T OBJECTIVES:The purpose of the current study is to describe the demographic and clinical characteristics and health care use of medically hospitalized patients with eating disorders (ED) and somatoform disorders (SFD) in a pediatric setting and to use the findings to explore opportunities for improved care. METHODS:Retrospective chart reviews of 125 patients with SFD and 125 patients with ED (N 5 250) seen at a tertiary pediatric facility over a 12-and 19-month period, respectively. RESULTS:Patients in both groups were predominantly girls, white, came from households with above average incomes, and had academic pressures, internalizing coping styles, and high rates of anxiety disorders. Compared with SFD patients, ED patients had longer medical admissions (P , .001), more depressive disorders (P , .01), higher lifetime rates of suicidal ideation and self-injurious behaviors (P , .05), and were more frequently discharged to intensive psychiatric treatment programs (P , .001). SFD patients were referred later to psychiatry (P , .001), had more emergency department visits (P , .001) and more visits to other hospitals (P , .05) and also had higher rates of learning difficulties (P , .001), bullying (P , .05), and trauma (P , .01) compared with ED patients. CONCLUSIONS:Identifying overlapping features and key differences in the clinical characteristics and health care use of patients with primary psychiatric disorders like ED and SFD, who are frequent users of medical services, is the first step toward developing innovative, integrated hospital-based care approaches and clinical pathways that can reduce service utilization and improve patient outcomes.

“…A large population-based study that included over 150,000 adolescents and young adults, followed for an average of 5.4 years, found that parental depression and anxiety was associated with heightened risk for an ED (Bould et al, 2015). Similar effects have been found for subclinical eating symptoms.…”

This study examined whether social-emotional coping skills moderate the association between parental mental health symptoms and adolescent disordered eating attitudes and behaviors in a clinical sample of adolescents with internalizing and/or externalizing symptoms. Fifty-nine adolescent-parent dyads (N = 118 total participants) recruited from a metropolitan area in the Northeastern United States completed assessments at baseline and 12-month follow-up. Generally, higher parental depression and anxiety were only found to be associated with greater disordered eating attitudes and behaviors among adolescents who reported poorer (versus stronger) emotional awareness/expression skills and less (versus greater) ability to regulate emotions. Results may suggest that adolescents who lack the ability to effectively recognize, express, and manage negative emotions that arise in the context of a challenging home environment may be at greater risk for engaging in maladaptive coping behaviors, such as disordered eating. Thus, bolstering adolescent social-emotional coping skills may help protect against adolescent disordered eating.
