“…Treatment-seeking individuals may have exhibited greater psychopathology than those in this study. [84][85][86][87] Moreover, this study evaluated a young, college-enrolled sample. Previous studies evaluated older adults with fewer than 12 years of education.…”

Objective: To examine the link between binge eating, executive functioning, and behavioral impulsivity.Method: Fifty women who reported engaging in weekly binge eating in the absence of regular compensatory behaviors and 66 women with no history of binge eating completed several self-report questionnaires and a brief neuropsychological battery, including the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task and Conner's Continuous Performance Task.Results: Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that groups did not differ in executive functioning after controlling for depression, anxiety, body mass, general intelligence, and psychotropic medication use. Correlation analyses suggest that individuals who endorse more frequent binge eating might have greater difficulties thinking flexibly or shifting attention. Individuals who binge eats are also more likely to behave impulsively, but only for emotional reasons.Discussion: Although this study is unable to determine whether these cognitive and behavioral factors precede or follow binge-eating episodes, outcomes have implications for treatment and prevention.

Use of health services for major depressive and anxiety disorders in Finland

et al. 2008

Factors associated with people suffering from major depressive disorder (MDD) or anxiety disorders seeking or receiving treatment are not well known. In the Health 2000 Study, a representative sample (n=6005) of Finland's general adult (≥30 years) population was interviewed with the M‐CIDI for mental disorders and health service use for mental problems during the last 12 months. Predictors for service use among those with DSM‐IV MDD (n=298) or anxiety disorders (n=242) were assessed. Of subjects with MDD, anxiety disorders, or both, 34%, 36%, and 59% used health services, respectively. Greater severity and perceived disability, psychiatric comorbidity, and living alone predicted health care use for MDD subjects, and greater perceived disability, psychiatric comorbidity, younger age, and parent's psychiatric problems for anxiety disorder subjects. The use of specialist‐level mental health services was predicted by psychiatric comorbidity, but not characteristics of the disorders per se. Perceived disability and comorbidity are factors influencing the use of mental health services by both anxiety disorder and MDD subjects. However, still only approximately one‐half of those suffering from even severe and comorbid disorders use health services for them. Depression and Anxiety 0:1–11, 2007. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

“…Research on age is not clear cut with some research indicating that increasing age is related to a greater need for and receiving of professional help (Bristow and Patten, 2002;Gallo et al, 1995;Mackenzie et al, 2006) and other studies showing that young people, people with more positive experiences of their mental health care, and people who acknowledge their mental problems receive more mental health treatment (Andrews et al, 2001;Bland et al, 1997;Sherwood et al, 2007;Verhaak et al, 2009). Research on gender and help-seeking showed that men are less likely than women to seek help, which might be due to gender-role differences and what is viewed as masculine (Mackenzie et al, 2006;Oliver et al, 2005).…”
