Re: Atypical Anorexia Nervosa - July 23rd 2016, 09:22 PM

Atypical anorexia can be classified as a subtype of EDNOS or a subtype of anorexia. Most people will be diagnosed with EDNOS, eating disorder not otherwise specified, due to the criteria for anorexia and bulimia being very specific and most people don't actually fit into these. Labels are generally for insurance purposes and as a basis for where to start with treatment more than anything else, and don't let your eating disorder use it as a tool against you- your diagnosis does not summarise your struggle.

Did you doctor refer you for any further treatment? I'm glad you're seeking help



Take as long as you need.
