Just a thought that crossed my mind when you were listing the questions & answers.......it seems in my mind that 90% or more of women would end up being dx'ed with ED-NOS on the basis of answering those questions.

Even very normal people have issues with food some time in their life. What's important is the mental state that goes along with it & what lingers on.

Anorexia hits me when I'm stressed.....it always has since I was a kid in grade school....studying for tests & midterms & finals & performances in college....I would feel sick to my stomach & not eat.....the longer the stress the more I would loose until it finally passed & I would get more back to normal.

I think the more aware people are of ED's the more they are wanting to Dx & treat so that what may become an ED doesn't.....& there is nothing wrong with that either.....preventive medicine has always been a reasonable practice.

When I was really struggling, my MD left the mental treatment up to my pdoc & T.....& he only took care of my physical needs when I got too physically ill to function.

A nutritionist is always a good idea.....even though I know what I should eat.....I find it very difficult to manage living alone with no real routine to my life.
