Describe the behavioral manifestations associated with each of the following: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder
Anorexia nervosa is characterized by excessive dieting, severe weight loss, and distorted body image with a pathological fear of being fat. Fear of gaining weight or becoming fat is an important criterion, as is persistent behavior that interferes with weight gain; another key criterion is "restriction of energy intake relative to requirements leading to a significantly low body weight (less than minimally normal or less than that expected).".Bulimia nervosa is characterized by frequent episodes of binge eating followed by inappropriate behaviors such as self-induced vomiting to avoid weight gain. Binge eating disorder is defined as recurring episodes of eating significantly more food in a short period of time than most people would eat, with episodes marked by feelings of lack of control.
