Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Medications are useful for some clients with eating disorders. Because one theory posits that the cause of eating disorders is disturbed serotonin regulation, researchers have studied the effectiveness of antidepressants. Although pharmacologic therapy usually is not the primary intervention for anorexia, antidepressants or antianxiety drugs may benefit clients with depressive, anxious, or obsessive-compulsive symptoms (APA, 2000b).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Binge-eating disorder (BED), an additional diagnostic category to the DSM-IV-TR, similarly affects males and females, many of whom are medically overweight or obese (Anderson and Yager, 2005). Characteristics of BED include recurrent eating binges; guilt, shame, and disquiet about binging; and marked psychological distress (Costin, 2002).
