Dysphoric mood and overeating.
Three naturalistic studies were conducted to investigate the disinhibitory effect of dysphoric mood states on eating. A clear association between dysphoric mood and overeating was found in patients with bulimia nervosa and in a group of students who were high restrainers on a weight-reducing diet. The effect was much weaker in a third group of non-dieting high restrainers.
