A retrospective comparison of purging type disorders: Eating disorder not otherwise specified and bulimia nervosa
Article Abstract:
An investigation was carried out to provide insight relating to the clinical significance of eating disorder not otherwise specified-purging only (EDNOS-P) by examining differences between women with lifetime bulimia nervosa purging subtype (BN-P) and EDNOS-P. The results indicated some meaningful differences from BN-P, particularly in the area of lifetime depressive symptomatology and EDNOS-P lies somewhere between BN-P and healthy controls in its clinical significance.
