The impact of stress, fear of fatness, and panic disorder with agoraphobia on eating disorder symptomatology: A case study

This case describes the interaction between an anxiety disorder and an eating disorder. It shows how the interplay between stress, fear of fatness, and panic disorder with agoraphobia changed a patient's eating disorder from bulimia nervosa to an eating disorder focused on food restriction. Implications for the assessment and treatment of panic disorder with agoraphobia and an eating disorder focused on food restriction are discussed. © 1995 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
