| Abstract: | DISCUSSION: Control trials show that antidepressants are efficacious in eating disorders. Although selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are used in clinical practice, there are relatively few controlled or open trials demonstrating that SSRIs are effective. We report five cases of underweight women with binge eating/purging-type eating disorders who gained weight and had reduced core eating disorder behaviors in response to sertraline. |
