    Excerpt

    Eating disorders are associated with high mortality rates and often go undetected and unaddressed, particularly when comorbid with other psychiatric disorders, including alcohol use disorder (AUD) and substance use disorders (SUDs). Eating disorders defined in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association 2013) include anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and binge-eating disorder (BED), as well as the two categories other specified feeding or eating disorder (e.g., atypical AN, subthreshold BN and BED, purging disorder, night eating syndrome) and unspecified feeding or eating disorder, which replaced the former eating disorders not otherwise specified category. Table 46–1 summarizes the essential features of the most common DSM-5 eating disorders.
