2. MEANING:
Eating disorders are potentially life-threatening psychiatric disorders,
typified by severely disturbed eating behaviors and perceptual
/attitudinal distortions that require clinical treatment.
Individuals with clinical eating disorders engage in pathogenic eating
and weight control behaviors and have distorted body cognitions and
perceptions that interfere with their daily lives and have deleterious
effects on their physical and psychological functioning.

4. Bulimia Nervosa
Features:
“The binge and purge disease”
• Episodes of binge eating:
(i.e., eating a large amount of food in a discrete period of time and/or feeling out of
control during the eating episode) that are followed by compensatory behaviors,
such as self-induced vomiting, diuretic or laxative use, fasting or dieting, or
excessive exercising
• a self evaluation that is strongly influenced by
body shape and weight.
Two types:
• Purging: use of vomiting or laxatives to control weight.
• Non-purging: use of fasting, excessive exercise, to balance moments of
binging.
5. Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified
Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified is diagnosed when some, but not all, of
the criteria for either Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia Nervosa are met.
For example, a female may meet all of the criteria of AN except for menstrual
dysfunction, or, despite losing a significant amount of weight, she may still be
within the normal weight range. Or a male who is very dissatisfied with the size
and shape of his body may engage in compensatory behaviors, such as
exercising excessively or vomiting, after eating only small amounts of food.
