The frequency of depressive symptoms in anorexic patients, the response of some anorexic patients to antidepressants or ECT, the occurrence of comparable physiologic abnormalities in major depression and anorexia nervosa, and family studies of incidence increasingly link depression and anorexia in the literature. A review of the problems in making this linkage shows that the possibility of anorexia nervosa as a depressive equivalent or a depressive spectrum disorder must be seriously questioned.
厌食症患者中抑郁症状的发生率、部分厌食症患者对抗抑郁药或电休克治疗的反应、重度抑郁症和神经性厌食症中类似生理异常的出现，以及发病率的家族研究，在文献中越来越多地将抑郁症和厌食症联系起来。对建立这种联系过程中存在的问题进行综述表明，神经性厌食症作为一种等效抑郁症或抑郁谱系障碍的可能性必须受到严重质疑。
