Article Synopsis
- The study examines psychological vulnerability in Italian adolescents with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), particularly focusing on factors like body image, eating attitudes, and mood disorders.
- Among the 128 participants, anxiety (63.1%) and depression (39.1%) were prevalent, alongside significant body image dissatisfaction (49.2%) and bulimic risk (41.4%), especially in those with obesity and insulin resistance.
- The findings suggest that body image dissatisfaction mediates the relationship between anxiety and depression with bulimic risk, highlighting the need for a comprehensive biopsychosocial approach in managing PCOS-related psychological issues.
