WASHINGTON, DC – Post-traumatic stress disorder is strongly linked to disordered eating, which in turn, impedes treatment for the anxiety disorder in new findings that underscore the need for better screening of eating disorder impairment .
Powers noted childhood physical or sexual abuse may affect eating patterns in patients with PTSD."The evidence suggests these types of trauma exposure can be risk factors for the development of an eating disorder." To determine whether PTSD would be significantly linked to greater eating disorder impairment compared with other anxiety-related diagnoses and whether this would impair treatment, investigators studied 748 patients with an anxiety disorder who were attending a cognitive behavioral therapy clinic. Anxiety disorders included PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder , social anxiety, and panic disorder.
"They may use binge eating, purging, or food restriction as strategies to regulate emotions. These behaviors may allow patients to become numb to or avoid heightened emotions that come from having PTSD and an eating disorder." Ideally, clinicians would screen all patients with PTSD for an eating disorder, said Powers."If screening instruments aren't feasible or available, even just inquiring about body image or history of maladaptive eating behaviors can be helpful."Confirmatory Research, Karen S.
