Symptoms of anxiety can be prominent during treatment of bulimia nervosa. Our experience is that bulimics who abuse laxatives have the most prominent symptoms of anxiety. We conducted ratings of anxiety in 23 bulimics who purge with laxatives and 17 who purge by vomiting. We found that the laxative-abusing group had higher levels of state but not trait anxiety and that they were more likely to be treated with medication for anxiety during hospitalization. These data suggest an association between laxatives and anxiety in bulimia nervosa.
在神经性贪食症的治疗过程中，焦虑症状可能会很突出。我们的经验是，滥用泻药的贪食症患者焦虑症状最为突出。我们对23名通过服用泻药催吐的贪食症患者和17名通过呕吐催吐的患者进行了焦虑评级。我们发现，滥用泻药的组具有更高水平的状态焦虑而非特质焦虑，并且他们在住院期间更有可能接受抗焦虑药物治疗。这些数据表明神经性贪食症中泻药与焦虑之间存在关联。
