Eating Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified (ED-NOS)

This category is for disorders of eating that do not meet the criteria for any specific eating disorder. Examples include:
-- For women, all symptoms of Anorexia Nervosa are present except that the individual has regular periods.
-- All of the criteria for Anorexia Nervosa are met except that, despite significant weight loss, the individual's current weight is still in the normal range.
-- All of the criteria for Bulimia Nervosa are met except that the binge-eating and inappropriate compensatory behaviors occur at a frequency of less than twice a week or for a duration of less than three months.
-- The regular use of inappropriate compensatory behavior by an individual of normal body weight after eating small amounts of food (i.e. self-induced vomiting after the consumption of two cookies).
-- Repeatedly chewing and spitting out, not swallowing, large amounts of food.
