Association between anorexia nervosa and other specified eating or feeding disorders and paranoia in adolescents: what factors are involved?

Author
Abstract
:

In eating disorders, the association with other psychiatric symptoms is of particular interest. The association between anorexia nervosa and psychotic symptoms is less studied than that with affective disorders (anxiety/depression). The aim of this study is to describe a psychotic symptom (paranoia) in adolescents with anorexia nervosa looking at several potential explicative associated factors: eating disorder symptoms, body image concerns, depression and social anxiety. Our hypothesis is that paranoia in anorexia nervosa patients is better explained by the concomitant depression and social anxiety symptoms than the core symptoms of the disease (eating disorder symptoms or body image concerns).
