Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa and Binge-eating disorder
Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge-Eating Disorder are three
major types of eating disorders, each with distinct diagnostic criteria and
hallmark features. Understanding these differences is crucial for accurate
diagnosis and effective treatment (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
Anorexia Nervosa (AN)

developmental trajectory, and physical health (American Psychiatric
Association, 2013).
2. Intense Fear of Gaining Weight: An intense fear of gaining weight or
becoming fat, even though underweight (American Psychiatric
Association, 2013).
3. Distorted Body Image: Disturbance in the way one’s body weight or
shape is experienced, undue influence of body weight or shape on self-
evaluation, or persistent lack of recognition of the seriousness of the
current low body weight (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
