Current and lifetime psychiatric diagnoses were compared in 229 female patients seeking treatment for current episodes of anorexia nervosa (N = 41), bulimia nervosa (N = 98) and mixed anorexia nervosa and Schizophrenia-Lifetime Version, which was modified to include a section for DSM-III-R eating disorders, the Longitudinal Interval Follow-up Evaluation, and the Structured Interview for DSM-III Personality Disorders. Seventy-three percent of the anorexia nervosa subjects, 60% of the bulimia nervosa subjects, and 82% of the mixed anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa subjects had a current comorbid Axis I diagnosis. Major depression was the most commonly diagnosed comorbid disorder. Low rates of alcohol and substances abuse disorder were diagnosed, and personality disorder occurred in a minority of the sample. The subjects with mixed disorder manifested a higher lifetime prevalence of kleptomania than either the anorexics or the bulimics. High levels of comorbidity were noted across the eating disorder samples. Mixed disorder subjects manifested the most comorbid psychopathology and especially warrant further study.

We examined the association between affective disorders and eating disorders in 22 eating disorder inpatients who were interviewed using the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-Lifetime Version. The first series of 11 were interviewed as part of an interrater reliability study; the second series, done as follow-up to the first, consisted of 11 consecutive admissions. Overall, there were 15 bulimics and seven anorexics. Nineteen patients had a major affective disorder, and 13 (59%) had bipolar II affective disorder. Bipolar II affective disorder appears to be a common finding in hospitalized patients with severe persistent eating disorders.

The existence of multiple serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtypes has been proposed based on radioligand binding assay technique and other functional assay. Recent advance of neuropsychopharmacology has contributed to elucidating their physiological functions, ranging from molecular biological to clinical characteristics. Abnormalities of central 5-HT function are currently thought to play a significant role in mental disorders such as affective disorder, anxiety disorder, eating disorder and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, and in the regulation of physical functions such as body temperature, blood pressure and pain. The most significant outcome of the basic pharmacological work has been successful application of 5-HT receptor agents to the treatment of the above clinical disorders. In this article, the authors review the history of 5-HT receptor research and the role of 5-HT receptor in clinical disorders.

This study assessed the link between bulimic and depressive cognitions. Twenty-nine bulimics and 16 controls from the general population were first assessed on levels of depression using the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-Change Version and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Bulimics were significantly more depressed than controls. Bulimics differed significantly from controls on all cognitive measures associated with depression (Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire, Dysfunctional Attitude Scale, and Attributional Style Questionnaire), but differences on these measures were nonsignificant when depression, as measured by the BDI, was controlled. Bulimics differed from controls regardless of level of depression on the three scales of the Restraint Inventory, the Rationalization and All-or-None scales of the Thoughts About Eating Inventory, and most of the eight scales of the Eating Disorders Inventory. Bulimics showed more maladaptive thinking associated with depression, but these differences likely reflect the levels of depression for each group. The differences on the measures of cognitive and behavioral symptoms of bulimia remained when the level of depression was controlled statistically. This suggests that although depression can be frequently diagnosed in a bulimic sample, specific maladaptive cognitions and behaviors reflect a distinct disorder (bulimia) and are not simply the expression of an affective disorder.

We studied the parameters of suggested posthypnotic amnesia (initial deficit in recall, reversibility, and temporal disorganization of the initial material partially recalled during amnesia) in 132 psychiatric inpatients with DSM-III diagnoses of schizophrenia (N = 25), eating disorders (N = 77), alcoholism (N = 12), and major affective disorder (depression) (N = 18). We compared the findings on these patients with normal student control groups on the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale (SHSS:C) posthypnotic suggestion item. In general, the small patient subgroups showed posthypnotic amnesia on each of these criteria in similar fashion to normal student populations. Highly hypnotizable patients were more likely to recall their hypnotic experiences in a more random order than the temporally more accurate sequence shown by low-hypnotizable subjects. Schizophrenic patients initially recalled fewer of their hypnotic experiences (indicating some cognitive deficit), and eating disorder patients initially recalled more of their experiences than other patient groups or normal subjects. Nevertheless, all patient subgroups showed significant additional recall after the reversibility cue. The results support the robustness of posthypnotic amnesia in psychiatric patients.

Thirty-three bulimic and 14 restrictive anorexics were compared on DSM-III diagnoses of affective and anxiety disorders, observer-rated and self-rated measures of depression and anxiety, and family history. A subgroup of 18 eating disorder subjects was administered the dexamethasone suppression test. The same 18 subjects were compared to 13 subjects with affective disorder on the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia. It was found that a large group with bulimia and restrictive anorexia nervosa was subject to a depressive disorder. Thirty-eight percent of the sample fulfilled criteria for a major depressive episode. The dysphoric experience seemed as intense in the bulimic and restricter group. There was a high incidence of dexamethasone nonsuppression (55%), which was found to be related to various measures of depression. Bulimics and restricters differed in their family history of affective disorder. While 61% of bulimics had a positive history of depression, this was found in only 23% of restricters (p less than .03).

The 420 first-degree relatives of 14 patients with anorexia nervosa, 55 patients with bulimia, and 20 patients with both disorders were evaluated for the presence of psychiatric illness, using DSM-III criteria, by the family history method. The morbid risk for affective disorder in the families of the eating disorder probands was similar to that found in the families of patients with bipolar disorder; but was significantly greater than that found in the families of patients with schizophrenia or borderline personality disorder. These results add to the growing evidence that anorexia nervosa and bulimia are closely related to affective disorder.

Anorexia nervosa is a disease of increasing frequency with serious medical and psychological consequences. The presentation is one of significant weight loss. The initial assessment of such a patient must differentiate between an underlying systemic medical illness and an eating disorder. This paper will review the more common medical conditions causing weight loss and their distinguishing characteristics, including malignancy, inflammatory bowel disease, infections and metabolic disorders. Once an organic disease is ruled out, anorexia nervosa must then be differentiated from other eating disorders such as bulimia or other psychological diseases such as depression, schizophrenia, drug abuse, conduct disorders, and anxiety reactions. The pathogenesis of anorexia nervosa includes complex societal, family, and individual factors which require evaluation in the treatment process.

In 1991 the American Psychiatric Association proposed a draft version of the IV edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders--the DSM IV Options Book. Authors of this version wanted to increase clarity of the criteria sets and to provide compatibility with the Tenth Edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD - 10). The purpose of this Options Book is to propose some changes in wording, diagnostic divisions and to discuss various options concerning the placement of sections and disorders within the classification. The "Disorders of Infancy, Childhood or Adolescence" section was renamed "Disorders Usually First Evident in Infancy, Childhood or Adolescence" and moved to the front of the classification and also was expended to 11 groups of disorders. Several suggestions have been made about including new diagnostic groupings such as: Rett's Disorder, Eating Disorders and Voice Disorder. The Options Book introduces a superior category for Attention Deficit Disorders (with and without hyperactivity) and for Conduct Disorder/Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Several options are proposed regarding The Anxiety Disorders of Childhood or Adolescence. There is no evidence for a distinction in this category according to the age criterion. One option would be to move these disorders into the adult anxiety section (similarly as in the Mood Disorders and Schizophrenia). In the new version the title "Specific Developmental Disorders" is omitted. The suggestion is to include Phonological Disorder (Articulation Disorders) and Elective Mutism into Speech and Language Disorders section.

The authors recruited 229 treatment-seeking anorexic and bulimic women for a prospective, longitudinal study. Telephone interviews were arranged every 3 months for at least 1 year for 225 patients. At intake, 132 subjects were menstruating, 34 subjects were taking oral contraceptives, 5 subjects had an organic cause for amenorrhea (e.g., hysterectomy), and 58 subjects were amenorrheic. Each patient met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, third edition, revised (DSM-III-R) criteria for anorexia nervosa (AN, N = 41), bulimia nervosa (BN, N = 98), or AN/BN (N = 90). All subjects were interviewed with the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-Lifetime Version, which was modified to include a section for DSM-III-R eating disorders, the Longitudinal Interval Follow-Up Evaluation, and the Structured Interview for DSM-III Personality Disorders. It was found that body weight was associated with menstrual status: those with amenorrhea had a mean percent ideal body weight (IBW, Metropolitan Life criteria) of 74 +/- 1% compared with 102 +/- 19% for menstruating patients (p < .01). Affective illness was more prevalent among patients with amenorrhea than among menstruating patients (75% vs. 56%, p < .05). Menses were regained within 1 year by 33% of amenorrheic patients. These patients gained an average of 7.3% of their IBW. Longer duration of eating disorder (p < .03) and the presence of an anxiety disorder (p < .05) were associated with persistent amenorrhea. Menses were lost within 1 year by 8% of menstruating patients. These patients lost an average of 5.0% of their IBW.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
