In reply to cortisol eating disorders?, posted by clarrissa forester on August 22, 2000, at 13:37:48

I'm not sure on eating disorders, but it is higher if you are overweight/obese. Since you didn't specify your current status, I thought I would throw that one in. Jennifer


> I have recently come across research to suggest that cortisol levels are higher than normal in people suffering depression, anxiety, and in response to stress. Therefore I wondered whether cortisol levels were also raised among those people suffering from eating disorders due to the assumption that eating disorders may develop as a way of "handling stress", rather than being caused by environmental factors (such as social pressure). I would be most grateful for any information regarding this issue. Thank you.
