Patients with bulimia nervosa commonly have co-occurring anxiety disorders and mood disorders. These can include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and major depressive disorder. While substance disorders and body dysmorphic disorder may also be present, they are not as common as anxiety and mood disorders. Sexual disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder may also occur, but with less frequency than anxiety and mood disorders.
