After reading another members thread it kinda caused me to realize that there is no section for EDNOS on here.
EDNOS = Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (but has just recently been changed in the DSM to the title OSFED)
It basically means you don't meet criteria for just one ED. You experience multiple symptoms from varied EDs or multiple EDs in general. (i.e. going through phases of both bulimia and anorexia, ED switching, 'normal' eating periods, atypical anorexia).

It seems odd to me that there wouldn't be a sub-forum for it, considering the rates of people diagnosed with EDNOS are constantly rising and it also stands to be the ED which holds the highest fatality rates above both anorexia and bulimia by a small percentage.

It seems like this should be talked about. . . if not for support for knowledge.
Thanks for this!
