## Abstract It has been suggested that interactions between hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis and serotonin‐1A (5‐HT~1A~) receptor system are involved in the pathophysiology of major depression. Pharmacologic challenge test with 5‐HT~1A~ receptor agonists is a useful approach to study the s

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Objective
Previous research has revealed cognitive deficits in patients with anorexia nervosa. It is unclear whether these deficits are linked to co‐morbid depression in this population. We examined the relationship between depressive symptoms and cognitive functioning.
Method
A large sample of subjects (N = 98) was examined using a common measure of cognitive ability and two measures of depression.
Results
We confirmed that there is no relationship between depression and cognitive ability in this group.
Discussion
This suggests that alternative explanations be explored for cognitive deficits in patients with anorexia nervosa. © 2003 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Eat Disord 33: 351–355, 2003.
