AB  - We studied the differences in psychosocial functioning in the early stages of 
      adolescent anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN). The study group 
      comprised 57 adolescent eating disorder (ED) outpatients (girls). Psychosocial 
      functioning was evaluated by GAF (Global Assessment of Functioning), and by 
      Morgan-Russell psychosocial subscales. GAF scores were very low in both AN and 
      BN. On the Morgan-Russell subscales, bulimics reported more unsatisfactory 
      relationships with family and impairment in work/school. Anorectics tended to 
      have more difficulties in emancipation from family and in social contacts. 
      Multivariate analysis showed associations of BN and high GSI with difficulties in 
      relationships with family and of AN with difficulties in emancipation from family 
      and with fewer social activities. Longer duration of illness predicted best 
      impaired working ability. In adolescent EDs, psychosocial functioning is markedly 
      impaired. We emphasize the importance of evaluating psychosocial functioning at 
      the very onset of ED.
