Differences in anxiety, depression and aggression levels in persons with anorexia and bulimia nervosa

The aim of the study was to assess the present clinical management of patients with anorexia (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN), as well as to investigate possible differences in the prevalence, level and structure of anxiety, depression, impulsivity and aggression between these patients. The later were assessed as personality traits and therefore were tested 3 months after the end of hospital treatment. The results of the present AN and BN clinical management analysis are comparable with the evaluations of foreign similar therapeutic programmes. Compared to BN patients in those with AN higher level of anxiety, higher prevalence and level of depression and higher level of aggression were found. The later, however, only in the category of suspiciousness. Regarding the prevalence and level of impulsivity however, no significant between-group differences were found. Between-group differences most probably reflect more intense and specific developmental deficits in persons with AN compared to those with BN.

Cognitive processing in persons with depressive and schizophrenic disorder

The study aimed to investigate possible differences in cognitive processing between patients with acute depressive (DEP) and those with acute schizophrenic (SCH) disorder, to assess their emotional functioning and to develop a model of their cognitive-emotional processing. The later could serve to develop the individual entitiy specific guidelines for therapeutic and reintegration strategies. The study results showed that in both patient groups higher cognitive processes (especially attention during psychomotor tasks) were impaired, while automatic ones (working memory, sustained attention) were preserved. Individual cognitive deficits are probably not specific for SCH or DEP. Cognitive and emotional improvements are possible in both entities and may reflect "learning potential" or fluctuations in test results, deriving from motivational or other factors. At hospital discharge these patients are probably not cognitively rehabilitatied and have an unused latent cognitive-emotional learning potential. To improve the existing therapeutic management the inclusion of training to achieve focused cognitive-personality-emotinal rehabilitation is advisable.
