چکیده
This chapter describes the major eating disorders encountered during adolescence including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and eating disorders not otherwise specified (EDNOS). The latter group accounts for most adolescents seeking treatment for an eating disorder and refers to those patients not meeting full Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) criteria for either anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. In one study, using the DSM-IV criteria, >50% of children were classified as having EDNOS (Nicholls et al., 2000).
