Abstract
This study aimed to see if adolescents presenting with anxiety, disordered eating (DE), or both had different correlates. Results showed only two factors differentiating between adolescents with anxiety only and with comorbid DE/anxiety: perfectionism and low self-esteem. This suggest that DE might be a way to cope with anxiety symptoms.
