The presence of chronic disease is a risk factor for the development of mood disturbances and panic disorders. They can influence the course of disease and effectiveness of therapy. Depression may be the cause of making light doctor's advice. Anxious patients often aggravate symptoms of the disease. ⋯ Patients suffering from atopic/eczema dermatitis syndrome are pre-disposed to anxiety and depression manifestation. Even adequately controlled symptoms of atopic/eczema dermatitis syndrome may be the cause of those disturbances' occurrence.

Comparative Study
[Motivational factors in psychotherapy of eating disorders].
We examined changes in general psychopathology during psychotherapy of patients with eating disorders. We were also interested in distinguishing motivational characteristics of completers and dropouts with anorexia and bulimia nervosa. ⋯ The efficacy of cognitive-behavioural-social psychotherapy of patients with eating disorders seems to be confirmed by large decrease of general psychopathology. Dropouts with anorexia seem to have poorer insight concerned with lower need of health activity.
