    This study found that negative moods in bulimia nervosa patients worsened with binge-eating and purging behaviors. These mood changes appear secondary to eating symptoms, not a primary depression.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Eating Disorders

    Background:

    • Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by binge eating and compensatory behaviors.
    • The relationship between mood states and eating behaviors in bulimia nervosa requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the concurrent relationship between daily mood and specific eating behaviors in patients with bulimia nervosa.
    • To determine if mood disturbances are a primary feature or secondary to eating symptoms in bulimia nervosa.

    Main Methods:

    • A sample of 50 patients diagnosed with bulimia nervosa participated.
    • Daily mood and eating behaviors were assessed over an eight-week period.
    • Observer-rated and self-assessment mood scales were utilized.

    Main Results:

    • Observer-rated mood scores significantly improved over the study period.
    • Self-assessed mood showed no significant change.
    • Negative mood states were more pronounced during episodes of binge-eating, vomiting, or purging.
    • Increased abnormal eating behaviors correlated with increased negative mood.

    Conclusions:

    • Dysphoric mood states in bulimia nervosa are likely secondary to the presence of abnormal eating symptoms.
    • These mood disturbances do not appear to constitute a primary depressive illness.
