This study evaluated the relationship between eating disorder symptomatology and severity of depression in depressed outpatients before and after antidepressant treatment and assessed the effect of treatment on eating disorder symptomatology. One hundred thirty-nine outpatients (82 women and 57 men) with major depressive disorder (MDD) filled out the eating disorder inventory (EDI) before and after 8 weeks of treatment with fluoxetine 20 mg/day. Diagnoses of MDD and possible comorbid eating disorders were made with the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R--Patient Edition. Several EDI subscales correlated significantly with severity of depression both at baseline and endpoint. Additionally, all EDI subscales showed a statistically significant decrease following fluoxetine treatment, and changes in depression severity following treatment were significantly related to changes in EDI bulimia, ineffectiveness, perfectionism, and interpersonal distress subscale scores. These results suggest that several symptoms characteristic of eating disordered patients are linked to the severity of depressive symptoms. Decreases in eating disorder symptomatology following antidepressant treatment may be related to changes in depressive symptoms.
