Abstract
Markedly increased appetite and eating are commonly found in seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and Bulimia nervosa (BN). To investigate dysfunctional eating attitudes, we administered the Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI), a self-rating questionnaire that assesses abnormal eating attitudes and behaviours, to 30 female SAD patients, 30 matched BN patients, and 30 non-clinical subjects. The SAD patients had higher scores on most EDI subscales compared to the non-clinical subjects; the BN patients had higher scores that the SAD patients on only two of three EDI subscales that are specific to eating disorders. These data add to the evidence supporting a clinical overlap between SAD and BN.
