Eating disorder
Classification
Two subtypes of anorexia nervosa are specified in the DSM-5—restricting type and binge-eating/purging type. Those who have the restricting type of anorexia nervosa restrict food intake and do not engage in binge eating, whereas those with the binge/purge type lose control over their eating at least occasionally and may compensate for these binge episodes. Although similar in presentation to bulimia, individuals with the binge-eating/purging subtype of anorexia are typically underweight, whereas those with bulimia tend to be normal weight or overweight.
