AB Eating  disorders,  such  as  anorexia  nervosa,  bulimia  nervosa,  and  binge  eating  disorder,  are  psychological  conditions  characterized  by  a  pathologic  relationship  with  food  that  adversely  affects  psychosocial  functioning.  Eating  disorders  can  be  challenging  in  the  ED  because  physical  manifestations  may  be  subtle  and  historical  features  may  not  be  elicited  unless  a  disorder  is  suspected  from  medical  complications.  The  fifth  edition  of  the  Diagnostic  and  Statistical  Manual  of  Mental  Disorders  refines  the  diagnostic  criteria  of  eating  disorders  from  the  previous  edition  (Table  291-1).1
