 Those who have the restricting type of anorexia nervosa restrict food intake and do not engage in binge eating, whereas those with the binge/purge type lose control over their eating at least occasionally and may compensate for these binge episodes.Although similar in presentation to bulimia, individuals with the binge-eating/purging subtype of anorexia are typically underweight, whereas those with bulimia tend to be normal weight or overweight.These eating disorders are specified as mental disorders in standard medical manuals, including the ICD-10 and the DSM-5.
