Information from National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) website, except for EDNOS, which is from Wikipedia: (Binge Eating Disorder – BED – is not yet in the DSM IV and therefore currently falls under EDNOS).
- Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS) - This category is frequently used for people who meet some, but not all, of the diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa.
- Binge Eating Disorder (BED) - This is a type of eating disorder not otherwise specified and is characterized by recurrent binge eating without the regular use of compensatory measures to counter the binge eating.
- Bulimia Nervosa (BN) - This is a serious, potentially life-threatening eating disorder characterized by a cycle of bingeing and compensatory behaviors such as self-induced vomiting designed to undo or compensate for the effects of binge eating.
- Anorexia Nervosa (AN) - This is a serious, potentially life-threatening eating disorder characterized by self-starvation and excessive weight loss.

Richard and Jamie's lives are spinning out of control. He spends nights
at the office while both his wife and boss demand more; she finds
herself in a recovery center, grappling to unite the voices that fight
to preserve and destroy her. When Richard visits Jamie at the center
for the first time, this brother and sister begin to break down
barriers. Wavering between denial and confrontation, they struggle to
find the path towards healing, support, and love.

Take Action
One of the biggest challenges facing those with an eating disorder
is health care coverage for treatment. Often insurance doesn’t fully
cover treatment, and the patient or family is left with an unbearable
decision: go without treatment, or pay for prohibitively expensive
treatment out of pocket.
We urge you to write your political representative, urging
voluntary mental health parity. Mental health parity requires insurance
companies to cover treatment for eating disorders as it would cover
treatment for a physical ailment. Although Minnesota has mental health parity,
this is not a Federal law, and so even residents of Minnesota whose
insurance companies are based outside of the state often do not receive
adequate coverage.
For more information about mental health parity and eating
disorders, please visit www.eatingdisorderscoalition.org.
To find out the names and contact information for your
elected representatives, please visit www.visi.com/juan/congress.
The web site has a feature that lets you automatically email your elected
representatives with your concern.
To view a sample letter urging your representative to
support mental health parity click here.

Anna Westin Foundation, at www.AnnaWestinFoundation.org.
