Diagnostic Criteria for Atypical Anorexia Nervosa: A Proposal
We discuss these issues and several potential options for defining features in the current description and for a new name. Following other examples in the DSM-5-TR, we propose the disorder be named "anorexia nervosa-like eating disorder (weight in normal or above normal range)" (acronym: ANLED) and suggest diagnostic criteria which could be included in the DSM-5-TR section on Conditions for Further Study.
