AB Feeding  and  eating  disorders  constitute  a  group  of  conditions  in  which  there  is  a  persistent  disturbance  of  eating  or  associated  behaviors  that  significantly  impair  an  individual’s  physical  health  or  psychosocial  functioning.  In  DSM-5  the  described  categories  (with  the  exception  of  pica)  are  defined  to  be  mutually  exclusive  in  a  given  episode,  based  on  the  understanding  that  although  they  are  phenotypically  similar  in  some  ways,  they  differ  in  course,  prognosis,  and  effective  treatment  interventions.  Compared  with  DSM-IV-TR,  three  disorders  (i.e.,  avoidant/restrictive  food  intake  disorder,  rumination  disorder,  pica)  that  were  previously  classified  as  disorders  of  infancy  or  childhood  have  been  grouped  together  with  the  disorders  of  anorexia  and  bulimia  nervosa.  Binge-eating  disorder  is  also  now  included  as  a  formal  diagnosis;  the  intent  of  each  of  these  modifications  is  to  encourage  clinicians  to  be  more  specific  in  their  codification  of  eating  and  feeding  pathology.
