2014, PsychoneuroendocrinologyCitation Excerpt :No study has evidenced differences between underweight AN patients and non-eating disordered controls on indices of blood serotonin levels (Askenazy et al., 1998; Ehrlich et al., 2008, 2009b; Comai et al., 2010). Certain studies report a decrease in plasma TRP and a decrease in the TRP/LNAA ratio (LNAA for large neutral amino acids) in acutely underweight anorexic patients (Schreiber et al., 1991; Askenazy et al., 1998; Ehrlich et al., 2009a; Comai et al., 2010). In fact, TRP competes with other LNAAs for the same transport system across the blood–brain barrier (Fernstrom and Wurtman, 1997).
Different measures of impulsivity in patients with anxiety disorders: A case control study
2012, Psychiatry ResearchCitation Excerpt :Similarly, no correlation between anxiety and impulsivity was observed in a non-clinical sample of adolescents (Caci et al., 1998). On the other hand, although findings are mixed on the topic (Bienvenu et al., 2000; Potenza et al., 2009; Piero, 2010; Sulkowski et al., 2011), a tight association between anxiety and impulsivity has been documented at least for impulse control disorders, such as pathological gambling (Roy et al., 1988), and other conditions in which impulsivity represents a core clinical characteristic such as bipolar disorder (BD) (Najt et al., 2007), eating disorders (Askenazy et al., 1998), personality disorders with self-injuring episodes (Simeon et al., 1992), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Baldwin and Dadds, 2008) and conduct disorders (CDs) (Askenazy et al., 2003). Furthermore, norepinephrine increase due to pharmacological interventions enhances impulsive Immediate Memory Task (IMT) responses and subjective anxiety in healthy subjects (Swann et al., 2005a).
Anxiety is associated with impulsivity in bipolar disorder
2008, Journal of Anxiety DisordersCitation Excerpt :A vast empirical literature implicates behavioral inhibition (BI), the tendency to react to novelty with restraint, reticence, avoidance, or distress, in the etiology of anxiety disorders (Kagan, Reznick, & Snidman, 1988). However, the current findings are consistent with previous research reporting a link between anxiety and impulsivity in psychiatric populations characterized by problems with impulse control, including patients with eating disorders (Askenazy et al., 1998), pathological gambling (Roy et al., 1988), and self-harming behavior (Simeon et al., 1992). It is thus possible that the nature of the anxiety–impulsivity relationship may vary as a function of underlying vulnerabilities related to behavioral disinhibition.
