Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder in which the individual exhibits severe weight loss without any indication of underlying systemic causes. Individuals with anorexia nervosa have a distorted view of their own body image and an extreme fear of gaining weight. [1][2][3][4][5] Anorexia nervosa is diagnosed according to the DSM IV criteria listed below.
DSM IV-TR Diagnostic Criteria of Anorexia Nervosa
- "Refusal to maintainbody weight at or above a minimally normal weight for age and height: Weight loss leading to maintenance of body weight <85% of that expected or failure to make expected weight gain during period of growth, leading to body weight less than 85% of that expected." [4]
- "Intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, even though under weight."[4]
- "Disturbance in the weay one's body weight or shape are experienced, undue influence of body weight or shape on self evaluation,or denial of the seriousness of the current low body weight."[4]
- "Amenorrhea (at least three consecutive cycles) in postmenarchial girls and women. Amenorrhea is defined as periods occuring only following hormone (e.g., estrogen) administration."[4]
Two sub-types of anorexia nervosa have been recognized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. These sub-types include the restricting type and the binge-eating-purging type. Restricting subtype is characterized by an individual with anorexia nervosa who has not regularly taken part in binging or purging behaviors during the current episode. Binging and purging behaviors include the use of laxatives, diuretics, enemas, and self-induced vomiting to restrict weight gain. Binge-eating-purging subtype is characterized by an indivudal who has regularly taken part in binge-eating or purging behaviors in the current episode of anorexia nervosa. [4][2]
