Distinguish between the restricting type and the bingeing/purging type of anorexia. What has recent research suggested about the pertinence of these subcategories?
What will be an ideal response?
In the restricting type, individuals seek to lose weight primarily through diet, fasting, or excessive exercise; in the binge eating/purging type, the individual regularly engages in episodes of binge eating or purging, or both. Because studies have failed to find significant evidence of the differences between the binge–purge and restricting subtypes of anorexia, subtypes are used mostly to describe current symptoms rather than a distinctive pattern or course (Eddy et al., 2009; Forbush et al., 2010).
