Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS)?


Well what are the symptoms of ED NOS? And if it's not anorexia or bulimia, what makes it EDNOS and not anorexia or bulimia?
If you don't understand, then say it in the answer or something, but what make EDNOS, EDNOS? Is EDNOS like if you have symptoms of anorexia and bulimia? Thanks! THX

EDNOS is just any eating disorder that does not fall under the anorexia or bulimia or binge-eating category. For instance, if you have all of the traits of an anorexic but you still get your period or you have a bmi even one point about the point of anorexia, you can't be classified as an anorexic. Or, if you purge after eating, but you don't binge, you can't be considered a bulimic. I have purging disorder, which is under the EDNOS category. This is because I eat as little as possible, like an anorexic, but sometimes I purge, which is like bulimia. So, even though I have the currect bmi to be anorexic and I don't get my period, I'm under EDNOS because of the purging.

I believe it has to do with including people that also cannot for different reasons stop eating even though they know it's detrimental to their health. This is usually referred to as a person being morbidly obese but some weights fall between the cracks as in all health problems. That's a generalized term that is used when a specific disease or disorder has not yet been fully diagnosed. I hope this helps from a different angle. Good luck and God Bless

EDNOS is like both the disorders put together. Like you still get your period, you aren't underweight. eat but purge(or exercise,laxatives, ect) Like one week you starve, then binge and purge ect.

Hope i helped
