Description
Ghannadpour and colleagues studied records for 457 teenage girls with anorexia nervosa in intensive higher levels of care. They asked how depression and anxiety move with eating disorder symptoms during treatment. Mood and anxiety problems are heavily comorbid with eating disorders. Yet their three-way interplay in intensive teen settings had not been looked at.
Gains in depression and anxiety were clearly linked with gains in eating disorder symptoms over the course of treatment in this sample. The link held across the treatment episode. It did not show up only at intake or discharge in the analyses. Anorexia nervosa affects up to 3.6 percent of women in life, and onset is trending younger in girls. That makes this treatment group more important to grasp. The authors recommend mood and anxiety screening in higher levels of care. They also back a transdiagnostic treatment approach aimed at drivers beneath all three symptom sets.
