Is OSFED A Real Eating Disorder?

Is OSFED A Real Eating Disorder?

In our appearance-crazed, weight-obsessed, perfection-focused world, eating disorders are become more and more common. Humans are social creatures and we are not immune to social pressure, especially if we are already struggling with anxiety or depression.

Sometimes an eating disorder doesn’t fit into the clearly defined characteristics of other, labeled eating disorders, such as bulimia or anorexia nervosa. However, a person may still be suffering from significantly disordered eating that negatively affects their mood, ability to function, relationships, and health.


In this case, a person may be diagnosed with OSFED - Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder.
