significantly low body weight in the context of age, sex, developmental trajectory, and

weight.

lack of recognition of the seriousness of the current low body weight.
Hallmark Features:
Significantly Low Body Weight: Marked underweight compared to the norm for the

exercise.
Body Dysmorphia: Persistent perception of being overweight despite being underweight.
Bulimia Nervosa
Diagnostic Criteria:
1. Recurrent Episodes of Binge Eating: Eating, in a discrete period, an amount of food
that is definitely larger than most people would eat under similar circumstances, with a
sense of lack of control over eating during the episode.
2. Compensatory Behaviors: Recurrent inappropriate compensatory behaviors to prevent
weight gain, such as self-induced vomiting, misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or other
medications, fasting, or excessive exercise.
3. Frequency: The binge eating and inappropriate compensatory behaviors both occur, on
average, at least once a week for three months.
4. Self-Evaluation Influenced by Body Shape and Weight: Undue influence of body
