    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Eating disorders are complex conditions with significant comorbidity.
    • Understanding the psychological and familial factors is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate depression, suicidality, and family history in patients with anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and bulimarexia.
    • To differentiate eating disorders from affective disorders and alcoholism.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective chart review of 95 inpatient Eating Disorders Program patients.
    • Assessment of diagnoses: anorexia nervosa (food restriction), bulimia (binge eating), and bulimarexia (binging and purging).
    • Evaluation of depression, suicidality, and family history data.

    Main Results:

    • 80% of patients had major depression; 20% had a history of suicide attempts.
    • Anorexia and bulimarexia patients were younger, single, and Protestant.
    • Bulimarexia linked to maternal depression; anorexia to familial eating disorders; bulimia to familial obesity.

    Conclusions:

    • Eating disorders appear to be unique conditions, not merely variants of mood disorders or alcoholism.
    • Specific familial patterns and psychological traits differentiate anorexia, bulimia, and bulimarexia.
    • High rates of depression and suicidality underscore the severity of these disorders.
