“…On the above BDD measures, raters attempted to exclude eating disorder-related symptoms for participants with a comorbid eating disorder; concerns related to actual obesity/significant overweight were also excluded. The 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D; Hamilton, 1960) assessed current depressive symptoms (scores range from 0 to 50), and the 11-item Brief Social Phobia Scale (BSPS; Davidson et al, 1997) assessed severity of social phobia symptoms (scores range from 0 to 72). The 14-item Short Form of the self-report Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (Q-LES-Q; Endicott, Nee, Harrison, & Blumenthal, 1993) evaluated current quality of life (we report converted scores).…”

Objective-To determine the prevalence of weight concerns in individuals with BDD, and to examine similarities and differences between those with and those without weight concerns.Method-We assessed 200 participants with BDD for clinically significant weight concerns and compared those with weight concerns (in addition to other body area concerns) to those without weight concerns on measures of BDD symptoms, other symptom severity, comorbidity, suicidality, functioning, and quality of life.Results-58 (29.0%) participants had weight concerns. Participants with weight concerns were younger, more likely to be female, and had more body areas of concern; a higher frequency of certain BDD behaviors, suicide attempts, and comorbidity; greater body image disturbance and depression; and poorer social functioning. The two groups were similar on other measures.Discussion-Weight concerns in BDD deserve further study, as they appear relatively common and are associated with greater symptom severity and psychopathology in several domains.

“…Current BDD severity was assessed with three rater-administered scales: 1) BDD-YBOCS (past week; scores range from 0 to 48) (Phillips et al, 1997); 2) BDD-PSR, which mirrors DSM-IV BDD criteria (past week; scores range from 1 to 7); and 3) BDDE (past month; scores range from 0 to 168; this scale was administered to the first 77 subjects) (Rosen and Reiter, 1996). The severity of current comorbid OCD was assessed with the Y-BOCS (scores range from 0 to 40) (Goodman et al, 1989), current comorbid social phobia with the Brief Social Phobia Scale (scores range from 0 to 72) (Davidson et al, 1997), and current delusionality of appearance beliefs with the Brown Assessment of Beliefs Scale (BABS) (scores range from 0 to 24 (Eisen et al, 1998). Higher scores on the above symptom measures indicate more severe symptoms.…”

Background-Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) appear highly comorbid. However, MDD in individuals with BDD has received little investigation.Methods-The prevalence and characteristics of comorbid MDD were assessed in 178 BDD subjects. BDD subjects with current comorbid MDD (n=68) were compared to BDD subjects without current comorbid MDD (n=96) on demographic and clinical characteristics. Predictors of current MDD were determined using logistic regression.Results-74.2% of subjects had lifetime MDD, and 38.2% had current MDD. The melancholic subtype was most common, and a majority of depressed subjects had recurrent episodes. Mean onset of BDD occurred at a younger age than MDD. Subjects with current comorbid MDD had many similarities to those without MDD, although those with comorbid MDD had more severe BDD. Subjects with comorbid MDD were also more likely to have an anxiety or personality disorder, as well as a family history of MDD. They also had greater social anxiety, suicidality, and poorer functioning and quality of life. Current MDD was independently predicted by a personality disorder and more severe BDD.Limitations-It is unclear how generalizable the results are to the community or to subjects ascertained for MDD who have comorbid BDD. The study lacked a comparison group such as MDD subjects without BDD.Conclusions-MDD is common in individuals with BDD. Individuals with current MDD had greater morbidity in some clinically important domains, including suicidality, functioning, and quality of life. A personality disorder and more severe BDD independently predicted the presence of current MDD.

IZVLEČEKKljučne besede: zasvojenost od alkohola, sopojavnost, vprašalniki, obsesivno-kompulzivni simptomi, anksioznost, depresivnost, agresivnost Izhodišča. Zasvojenost od alkohola je zelo pogosta in kompleksna bolezen. Zasvojeni od alkohola imajo veliko tveganje za pojav sopojavne psihiatrične motnje.Metode. V prvi tovrstni slovenski raziskavi smo preverili prisotnost in izraženost simptomatike najpogostejših sopojavnih duševnih motenj pri zasvojenih od alkohola. Vključili smo tri skupine moških: 101 preiskovanca, hospitaliziranega zaradi zdravljenja akutne zasvojenosti od alkohola, 100 abstinentnih preiskovancev in 97 zdravih kontrol iz skupine prostovoljnih krvodajalcev. Za oceno simptomatike smo uporabili vprašalnike AUDIT, Yale-Brownovo lestvico obsesivnosti in kompulzivnosti ter lestvico obsesivno-kompulzivnega pitja, Zungovo lestvico depresivnosti in anksioznosti, Kratko lestvico socialne fobije in Buss-Durkeejevo lestvico sovražnosti.Rezultati. V skupini preiskovancev z akutno zasvojenostjo so bili pomembno bolj izražene obsesivna (p < 0,001) in kompulzivna simptomatika (p < 0,001) ter obsesivno-kompulzivna simptomatika, vezana na pitje alkoholnih pijač (p < 0,001), kot v preostalih dveh skupinah. Pri preiskovancih z akutno zasvojenostjo so bile v primerjavi z abstinenti in zdravimi kontrolami statistično pomembno bolj izražene anksioznost (p < 0,001), depresivnost (p < 0,001) in agresivnost (p < 0,001).Zaključki. Obsesivno-kompulzivna simptomatika, anksioznost, depresivnost in agresivnost so lahko sopojavno vezane na zasvojenost od alkohola. Med zdravljenjem zasvojenosti od alkohola je zato treba pozornost usmeriti tudi na te simptome, saj tako lahko bistveno izboljšamo izid zdravljenja zasvojenosti od alkohola in zmanjšamo tveganje za relaps.
