The Diagnostic & Statistical Manual (DSM-V) currently lists the following five clinical examples of OSFED [Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorders].

  1. Atypical anorexia nervosa: All criteria for anorexia nervosa are met; despite significant weight loss, the individual’s weight is within or above the normal range
  2. Bulimia nervosa of low frequency and/or limited duration
  3. Binge eating disorder of low frequency and/or limited duration
  4. Purging disorder
  5. Night Eating Syndrome

It’s important to note that this list in not exhaustive, and there are other situations and variations of symptoms that would also warrant an OSFED diagnosis or the alternative, Unspecified Feeding or Eating Disorder.

The body positive community’s emphasis on health, self-care, and a balanced approach to eating and living has offered a stark contrast to the imagery we’re used to. Users are encouraged to work out because it feels good, to eat because it fuels them, and to love the fruit of their genetics, regardless of whether their appearance falls neatly within historical western standards of beauty.
