Distinguish between eating and feeding disorders. Provide one example of each. How did feeding and eating disorders come to be included in one category in the DSM-5?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Feeding disorders tend to revolve around unhealthy attitudes or behaviors with respect to the substances that are ingested. For example, pica involves eating nonnutritive substances that are not considered food. Eating disorders reflect unhealthy thoughts or behaviors with respect to eating more generally. Anorexia nervosa is one example of an eating disorder, whereas pica is one of the feeding disorders. Previously, feeding disorders were included among the disorders usually diagnosed in childhood or adolescence. However, because the feeding disorders can actually appear at any age, they have been included in an expanded feeding and eating disorders category in the DSM-5.
