Key terms and concepts that may be included in student responses:
▪ The DSM-5 created a new diagnostic category called other specified feeding or eating disorder to capture presentations of an eating disorder that cause clinically significant distress or impairment but do not meet the full diagnostic criteria for any of the eating disorders previously discussed.The partial syndrome eating disorders would fit into this new category.
▪ The DSM-5's other specified feeding or eating disorder category includes disorders like atypical anorexia nervosa wherein all the criteria for anorexia nervosa are met, except that despite significant weight loss, the individual's weight is within or above the normal range.Another example is bulimia nervosa of low frequency and/or limited duration, which involves meeting all of the criteria for bulimia nervosa, except that the binge eating and inappropriate compensatory behaviors occur, an average, less than once a week and/or for less than three months.One last example is night eating syndrome, a new disorder introduced in DSM-5.
