You did not specify the DSM edition. I couldn't find the definitions for DSM II or I, but you're probably looking for DSM IV.
DSM IV:
307.1 Anorexia Nervosa
* Refusal to maintain body weight at or above a minimally normal weight for age and
height, for example, weight loss leading to maintenance of body weight less than 85%
of that expected or failure to make expected weight gain during period of growth,
leading to body weight less than 85% of that expected.
* Intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, even though underweight.
* Disturbance in the way one's body weight or shape is experienced, undue influence
of body weight or shape on self evaluation, or denial of the seriousness of the current
low body weight.
* In postmenarcheal females, amenorrhea, i.e., the absence of at least 3 consecutive
menstrual cycles. A woman having periods only while on hormone medication (e.g.
estrogen) still qualifies as having amenorrhea.
Type
Restricting Type: During the current episode of Anorexia Nervosa, the person has not
regularly engaged in binge-eating or purging behavior (self-induced vomiting or misuse
of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas).
Binge Eating/Purging Type: During the current episode of Anorexia Nervosa, the
person has regularly engaged in binge-eating or purging behavior
DSM III:
Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia nervoas, or simply anorexia for short, is a type of eating disorder characterized by strict calorie/food intake reduction and excessive exercise in order to lose an unhealthy amount of weight.
Anorexia nervosa was not officially classified as a psychiatric disorder until the third edition of DSM in 1980
Beginning with DSM-I in 1952,the eating disorder Anorexia nervosa, was considered a neurotic illness. Binge eating was acknowledged in 1980 in the DSM-III.
The DSM-IV definition of PMDD as a mental disorder is controversial because of fear that it could be used to justify prejudice or job discrimination against women.
There can be many good places to look. They include... * Medical record books, indexes * DSM records * CDC records of eating disorders / anorexia * Medically official websites about anorexia
It could be anorexia, just by its very definition, but there are so many other factors to consider...
it depends, it could be called anorexia if they don't eat at all or bulimic if they eat and then vomit. the definition of anorexia is slightly wrong though .... generly people that suffer from anorexia do eat! but what happens is they starve themselves for a few weeks and then every so often they will binge eat and the vomit after, this is the true definition of anorexia but it is possible that some people do not eat at all.
These are specified in great detain in DSM-IV, which is available at most libraries.
Substance abuse, as defined by DSM IV, implies a maladaptive pattern of substance use leading to significant impairment or distress, which can manifest in failure to fulfill major obligations, recurrent use in hazardous situations, legal problems, or interpersonal issues due to substance use.
DSM-V
it its a disorder where people are reducing their anxiety by excessive dieting called anorexia nervosa
The definition of Pro-ana is someone who promotes the eating disorder anorexia nervosa. There are many pro-ana organizations who offer their support for anorexics.
Schizophrenia is classified as a disorder by the DSM-IV-TR. This means that it is an abnormality in function. It may or may not be a disease depending on your definition of disease.
