Comparisons of sleep laboratory findings in depressed patients with those in patients with other psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, dementia, anorexia, and anxiety disorders, showed that a reduction in sleep efficiency is not only seen in depression (Benca et al. 1992 Ganguli et al. 1987 Hiatt et al. 1985 Insel et al. 1982b Levy et al. 1988 Loewenstein et al. 1982 T. A. Mellman and Uhde 1989 Neil et al. 1980 Papadimitriou et al. 1988 Prinz et al. 1982 C. F. Reynolds et al. 1983 Stern et al. 1969 Walsh et al. 1985).

Cross-cultural epidemiological studies suggest that certain disorders (e.g., anorexia nervosa, dissociative identity disturbance) exist mainly in industrialized countries and are rarely seen in... 

The role of medication in the treatment of bulimia nervosa seems better established than its role in the treatment of anorexia nervosa. The American Psychiatric Association Practice Guideline for Eating Disorders ( 510) suggests that antidepressants may be useful in bulimia nervosa with or without depression.
