Summary
Veterans who served in either Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) or Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) presenting at a post-deployment clinic participated in a study to examine the association of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression symptoms with binge eating. Veterans who met depression and PTSD screening criteria were more likely to meet binge eating screening criteria.
