Feeding and Eating Disorders 

 

Please find below a list of disorders that are currently proposed for the diagnostic category, Feeding and Eating Disorders. This category contains diagnoses that were listed in DSM-IV under the chapter of Eating Disorders. The Eating Disorders Work Group has been responsible for addressing these disorders. Among the work group’s proposals is the recommendation that Binge Eating Disorder be recognized as a free-standing diagnosis apart from the Appendix. Also, it is being recommended that the Eating Disorders category be renamed Feeding and Eating Disorders to reflect the proposal for inclusion of feeding disorders (categorized in DSM-IV under Disorders Usually First Diagnosed in Infancy, Childhood, or Adolescence). We appreciate your review and comment on these disorders.
