Hey!
Yeah I read about that. But with my example, for instance, I could have easily slipped into clinical anorexia - and if I were diagnosed (which I wasn't, but I did and mention it to several doctors but anyway) it would be better to reflect the anorexic part in the 'label' - I was thinking something like they have for bipolar these days, ie bipolar spectrum disorder, so we could get something like 'anorexia spectrum disorder' for people like me, and then proper 'anorexia nervosa' for the end of the sprectum.
Whatcha think?
Well, personally I don't care for labels much. Its what it actually is, if you see what I mean. Someone might call something purple, another lilic, another mauve...if you see what I mean. And just because you don't have a label, doesn't mean you don't have a disorder....
But anyway I think a whole lot of women would fall into the ED-NOS category if diagnosed.......
Have you heard about orthorexia?
Kind regards
Meri
