Anorexia nervosa

If I have a low mood or increased irritability since the onset of anorexia, could it be that I have an associated depressive disorder?

It is common for eating disorders to be accompanied by a depressive disorder, which will require specific psychological or pharmacological treatment. In any case, it is very important to thoroughly investigate the situation, since, for example, in anorexia nervosa, depressive symptoms may appear solely related to malnutrition, and these improve with weight regain. The referring professional must determine whether it is an associated problem or a consequence of the malnutrition.
