There are several known risk factors for overeating, including negative feelings and hunger. It was hypothesized that overtime work is associated with stress responses and later dinner times, leading to longer periods of time without eating, and that this, in turn, leads to a strong experience of
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study was to prospectively observe the relative contribution of each viable mechanism such as hyperphagia, physical activity, body composition, steroid hormonal and thyroid function, fatigue scores on changes in body weight in breast cancer patients, receiving adjuvant
This study aimed to determine symptom patterns in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), in summer and winter. Comparison data for patients with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) were used to evaluate seasonal variation in mood and behavior, atypical neurovegetative symptoms characteristic of
Kleine-Levin syndrome (KLS) is a rare disorder characterised, most notably, by periodic episodes of hypersomnolence and hyperphagia. Associated features of the disorder include a lack of concentration, mood changes, and anxiety. Laboratory tests may show slight changes in the electroencephalogram.
BACKGROUND
The literature indicates that emotional-cognitive symptoms are much more characteristic of dysthymia than the vegetative and psychomotor symptoms of major depression, yet this is insufficiently emphasized in the official criteria listed in the criteria of the American Psychiatric
Refeeding syndrome very rarely develops during pregnancy. A 35-year-old primiparous woman pregnant with twins complained of severe fatigue at 19 weeks' gestation. She was admitted to our hospital in a malnourished condition because of repeated self-induced vomiting due to anorexia nervosa. Just

OBJECTIVE
Selegiline transdermal system (STS) is efficacious for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). This meta-analysis explores treatment effects of STS for individual symptoms of MDD derived from line-item analyses of the 28-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D28) and the
Depression with atypical features is characterized by mood reactivity and 2 or more symptoms of vegetative reversal (including overeating, oversleeping, severe fatigue or leaden paralysis, and a history of rejection sensitivity). Another important feature of atypical depression is its preferential
Diabetes mellitus is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, and associated with long-term damage and dysfunction of various organs. Management of diabetes is therefore vital and involves maintaining euglycemia as much as possible by reducing blood glucose and by
Hypercortisolism in depression seems to preferentially reflect activation of hypothalamic CRH secretion. Although it has been postulated that this hypercortisolism is an epiphenomenon of the pain and stress of major depression, our data showing preferential participation of AVP in the
Depressive syndromes are a group of heterogeneous disorders. Atypical depression (AD) with reversed vegetative signs, such as hyperphagia or hypersomnia, is traditionally neglected, demonstrated by the fact that in the most widely used depression scales, such as the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD),
A 47-year-old white male with a 5-year history of type 2 diabetes mellitus presented to clinic with uncontrolled hyperglycemia, weight loss, and body aches that impeded his ability to work and sleep. He had initially controlled his diabetes successfully with weight loss and exercise. However, in the
