Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Eating disorders are one most common mental disorder. In this article, we address the topic of comorbid conditions in young women as part of narcological practice.
AIM: To conduct a comprehensive study of narcological characteristics of young women with bulimia nervosa.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 195 young women aged 20–27 years were examined. The study group included 40 women with bulimia nervosa, the control group included women (n=155) without this diagnosis. The following diagnostic tools were used: a clinical and anamnestic questionnaire aimed at identifying patterns of autoaggressive behavior (including questions on detecting the use of psychoactive substances), the RUS-AUDIT test (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test); the M.I.N.I. (Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview) short international neuropsychiatric questionnaire.
RESULTS: When comparing the study and control groups, statistically significant results were found concerning the criteria of hazardous use of alcohol and alcohol dependence syndrome (RUS-AUDIT) in the study group, which is confirmed by the data of the section ‘current alcohol dependence’ of the M.I.N.I. short neuropsychiatric questionnaire (р <0.05 in all cases). Tobacco smoking and a tendency to its increase over the past 2 years statistically significantly predominated in the study group (almost 4 times). Analysis of self-reports in terms of subjectively excessive consumption of alcoholic drinks revealed both low control over alcohol consumption, and a low level of subjective assessment of the existence of problems with alcohol consumption.
CONCLUSION: Eating disorders (in this study, bulimia nervosa) are largely associated with various drug addiction problems, primarily with disorders related to alcohol abuse. The data obtained expand the current knowledge of comorbidity of bulimia nervosa with drug spectrum disorders, which permits to create more personalized therapeutic and preventive programs.
