Document Summary
Usually described as severe disturbances in eating behaviour that results form the sufferer"s obsessive fear about gaining weight. Some prefer dieting disorder", because it usually incorporates an obsession to lose weight. A new category - binge eating disorder - challenges this approach. Extreme emaciation (refusal to maintain 85% of normal" weight) Disturbed perception of body, undue in uence of body weight and shape in self-evaluation. Feel much heavier than actually are, see themselves as fundamentally fat. Moral value on weight in society causes a common thing to be embedded in diagnostic criteria. Doesn"t see as potentially serious health issue. Food (its avoidance) central to everyday life. Food obsessed , entire day structured around food. Amenorrhea (women stop menstruating) - removed from dsm-5. Requirement that women would stop menstruating dropped. One of least controversial changes - many people would deny treatment because didn"t stop menstruating. Ex. dive into garbage can for food (in starvation mood responds in different ways)
