Excerpt

Feeding and eating disorders involve disturbed eating behaviors that can span the entire age range. This chapter combines feeding disorders that are usually diagnosed in childhood with the classic eating disorders because of their shared phenomenology and pathophysiology. Binge-eating disorder has been added to DSM-5 on the basis of accumulated research over the past decade. Residual categories are available for feeding and eating disorders that fail to meet criteria for a more specific disorder. Table 11–1 lists the disorders included in this chapter.
