Perhaps there should be a spectrum? Like with so many things, its not either/or. I mean, I would say in the past I had definately anorexic type behavours - I would eat 500 cals/day, for example, and my weight dropped to 18.5 BMI. Although I still got periods and I was in the 'normal' weight range, my behavours clearly weren't normal.
But on the other hand, I wasn't clinically anorexic per se. Perhaps the 'anorexia nervosa' is a label for one end of the spectrum and I dunno, 'anorexic type disorder' should be a milder form or something.
Because I do think you can have anorexic type behaviours which clearly aren't healthy, but you're not strictly anorexic either.
Disordered eating disorder perhaps????
Kind regards
