Other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED) is a subclinical DSM-5 category that, along with unspecified feeding or eating disorder (UFED), replaces the category formerly called eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS) in the DSM-IV-TR. It captures feeding disorders and eating disorders of clinical severity that do not meet diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED), avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), pica, or rumination disorder. OSFED includes five examples:

  • atypical anorexia nervosa,
  • atypical bulimia nervosa of low frequency and/or limited duration,
  • binge eating disorder of low frequency and/or limited duration,
  • purging disorder, and
  • night eating syndrome (NES).
