What is OSFED? |
|
OSFED stands for Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder. An example of OSFED could be someone who meets some, but not all, of the criteria for anorexia nervosa. For instance, they may restrict their food intake and have a fear of gaining weight, but their weight might be within or above the normal range, rather than significantly below it as typically seen in anorexia nervosa. Another example could be atypical bulimia nervosa, where someone engages in binge eating and inappropriate compensatory behaviors, but not with the same frequency or duration required for a diagnosis of bulimia nervosa.
