It doesn't make any sense. If anorexia requires a particular weight why doesn't Binge Eating Disorder?
Obesity is treated seperately from BED and I think emaciation should be considered separately from anorexia.
I think the weight requirement should be dropped from the anorexia diagnosis. They are 2 different things. One may or may not follow from the other. No other diagnosis has a physical requirement does it? If BPD required a particular number of stitches to be declared self-injury and make a person eligible for help from a treatment center wouldn't that just increase the severity of cutting?
