Study Notes
Introduction
- Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions marked by abnormal eating habits, negatively impacting physical and mental well-being.
- The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) provides a system for diagnosing various health conditions, including eating disorders.
- ICD-10 categorizes eating disorders within specific mental and behavioral disorder classifications.
Classification and Diagnostic Criteria
- ICD-10 defines distinct eating disorder types, each with specific diagnostic criteria.
- Key criteria usually include eating pattern disturbances, body image distortions, and related psychological/emotional issues.
- Specific criteria vary by disorder subtype.
Subtypes of Eating Disorders in ICD-10
- Anorexia nervosa: Refusal to maintain a healthy weight, intense fear of weight gain, and distorted body image. Low body weight or severely restricted food intake, and preoccupation with food/body shape are typical criteria.
- Bulimia nervosa: Recurrent binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors (e.g., purging, laxative use, excessive exercise) to prevent weight gain. Recurrent binge-purge cycles are crucial for diagnosis. Concern with body shape/weight commonly exists.
- Other specified feeding or eating disorders: Eating-related problems not fitting anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa criteria. Examples include avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, binge eating disorder, or other unspecified eating-related conditions.
- Eating disorders not otherwise specified: A residual category for conditions not fitting other specific disorders.
Contributing Factors
- ICD-10 recognizes multiple factors potentially contributing to eating disorders, including psychological, biological, social, and environmental aspects.
- A combination of factors likely leads to the development of these conditions.
Associated Features
- Eating disorders often present with comorbidities (coexisting conditions).
- Common comorbidities include anxiety disorders, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, personality disorders, and substance use disorders.
- These comorbidities significantly impact the course and treatment of eating disorders.
Assessment and Diagnosis
- ICD-10 stresses comprehensive assessments for evaluating eating disorders, including the subject's physical and mental health, eating habits, and background.
- Psychological evaluations are often conducted to understand underlying mental health issues.
- Medical evaluations may be needed to assess medical complications from the disorder.
Treatment Considerations
- ICD-10 acknowledges the complex nature of eating disorder treatment.
- Effective treatments often involve a multidisciplinary approach.
- Treatment typically includes nutritional counseling, psychotherapy, and medical management of any complications.
- Involvement of family members is frequently considered beneficial.
Epidemiology
- ICD-10 provides a framework for understanding eating disorder prevalence and distribution.
- Precise prevalence rates are not detailed within the manual; research studies provide this data.
- Age, gender, and cultural factors influence the observed numbers.
