Abstract

In a sample of 560 adults, we examined symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD, personality pathology, and irrational beliefs as predictors of eating disorder (ED) symptoms. Forward, stepwise, multiple regression analyses revealed depression and low frustration tolerance best predicted ED symptoms whereas ADHD, disinhibition, antagonism, and depreciation best predicted ED behaviors.
