- Atypical anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder in which individuals meet all the qualifications for anorexia nervosa, including a body image disturbance and a history of restrictive eating and weight loss, except that they are not currently underweight. Atypical anorexia qualifies as a mental health disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), under the category Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorders (OSFED). The characteristics of people with atypical anorexia generally do not differ significantly from anorexia nervosa patients except for their current weight. Atypical anorexia was not described in earlier editions of the DSM, which included a requirement that person to have a body weight no higher than 85% of normal. Patients with atypical anorexia were diagnosed with the DSM-4 qualification "eating disorder not otherwise specified" (EDNOS) until the DSM-5 was released in 2013. Prior to DSM-5, EDNOS made up the majority of eating disorders diagnoses, making it difficult to estimate the prevalence of atypical anorexia during this period. The term atypical anorexia was historically used to describe the restrictive eating habits of some people with autism. The DSM-5 superseded this term with the avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) diagnosis. (en)
