Document Summary
Eating disorders: differentiate between eating disorder and disordered eating, prof flipping the two words around changes the operational definition and the meaning of the word. Eating disorder is not good while disordered eating is worrisome and are warning signs that something is funny/odd/unhealthy with eating habits, but it is not a full-blown eating disorder but may lead to it. The dsm-iv (diagnostic and statistical manual, volume 4) provides guidelines and criteria for mental disorders. In terms of eating disorders the dsm-iv provides diagnostic criteria for anorexia, bulimia, and ednos (eating disorders not otherwise specified) Restricting type: during the current episode of anorexia nervosa, the person has not regularly engaged in binge-eating or purging behaviour (eg. self-induced vomiting or the misuse of laxatives, diuretics or enemas) Binge-eating/purging type: during the current episode of anorexia nervosa, the person has regularly engaged in binge- eating or purging behaviour (eg. self-induced vomiting or the misuse of laxatives, diuretics or enemas)
