In partial remission: full criteria for bulimia nervosa were previously met, some, but not all, of the criteria have not been met for a sustained period of time. In full remission: After full criteria for bulimia nervosa were previously met, the criteria have not been met for a sustained period of time. Specify current severity: The minimum level of severity is based on the frequency of inappropriate compensatory behaviours (see below). The level of severity may be increased to reflect other symptoms and the degree of functional disability. Mild: An average of 1-3 episodes of inappropriate compensatory behaviours per week. Moderate: An average of 4-7 episodes of inappropriate compensatory behaviours per week. Severe: An average of 8-13 episodes of inappropriate compensatory behaviours per week.

An episode of binge eating is characterized by both of the following: Eating, in a discrete period of time (e.g., within any 2-hour period), an amount of food that is definitely larger than what most people would eat in a similar period of time under similar circumstances. A sense of lack of control over eating during the episode (e.g., a feeling that one cannot stop eating or control what or how much one is eating). The binge-eating episodes are associated with three (or more) of the following: Eating much more rapidly than normal. Eating until feeling uncomfortably full. Eating large amounts of food when not feeling physically hungry. Eating alone because of feeling embarrassed by how much one is eating. Feeling disgusted with oneself, depressed, or very guilty afterward. Marked distress regarding binge eating is present. The binge eating occurs, on average, at least once a week for 3 months.
