Document Summary
Dsm-5 criteria for anorexia nervosa: restricting food that leads to very low body weight; weight significantly below normal, body image disturbance. 2: recurrent episodes of binge eating, recurrent compensatory behaviors to prevent weight gain e. g. vomiting, body shape and weight= extremely important for self-evaluation. Physical consequences: potassium depletion, diarrhoea from laxatives can cause change in electrolytes & irregular heartbeat, menstrual problems, tearing stomach and throat tissue, loss of dental enamel from stomach acid, swollen salivary glands, lower mortality rates than anorexia. Prognosis: 45% fully recover, rest= chronic course. Dsm-5 criteria: recurrent binge-eating episodes, at least 3 of the following; Eating large amounts even if not hungry. Eating alone cause of embarrassment of large quantity. Feeling bad (guilty/depressed) after episode: no compensatory behavior is present. Increased risk of type 2 diabetes: cardiovascular problems, chronic back pain/headaches, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, early onset of menstruation. 4: 25-82% recover, seems to last longer than anorexia and bulimia (subject to debate)
