Description | Taken together, the observed differences in the mirtazapine and SSRIs effect on the psychopathology reflect the preferential use of these two groups of antidepressants in bulimia and anorexia nervosa respectively. Clinicians apparently try to target the core clinical features of the eating disorders: SSRIs were given to bulimia patients with high scores of impulsivity, of mirtazapine in the anorexia nervosa patients might reflect the clinical utilization of its adverse effect on weight. |
