Eating disorders are characterized as biopsychosocial disorders in which the individual may have serious physical and psychological complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of depression, anxiety, stress and sleep quality in patients with anorexia or bulimia nervosa. The sample consisted of 30 women attending a specialized mental health clinic in the state of São Paulo. The instruments used for data collection were the DASS-21 Scale and the Toronto Sleep Assessment Questionnaire. Very severe levels of depression were identified in 53.33% of patients; very severe levels of anxiety by 60%; and very severe levels of stress by 26.67%. There was a significant positive correlation (p<0.05) between the sleep quality assessment scores and the depression, anxiety and stress scales. There was a significant association (p<0.05) between higher levels of stress and a lower number of residents at home. Patients with eating disorders showed severe impairments in their mental health, with high levels of depression, anxiety and stress, correlated with worse sleep quality.
