<div id="content" class="span-18"><h1>Other Eating Disorders</h1><p>Although anorexia and bulimia are the most common eating disorders, here are a few other terms you might come across:</p>
<p style="color: #f08c2a;">Food Avoidance Emotional Disorder (FAED):</p>
<p>This
is a disorder where emotional problems such as anxiety and depression
interfere with eating, so that the sufferer eats very little and loses
a lot of weight. It can therefore be confused with anorexia and it can
take time for the correct diagnosis to be made. FAED usually affects
children aged between about 5 and 16. There are usually other signs of
their emotional struggle that are not focused around food, and they may
also exhibit problems such as problems with sleeping, phobias or
extreme anxiety and other signs of depression such as tearfulness. The
main factor which separates FAED from anorexia is that sufferers are
generally aware that they are underweight. They often wish they could
eat more and may be concerned about being too thin, for example not
liking the way they look. This is very different from anorexia.
Treatment for FAED therefore focuses on the emotional difficulties
underlying the eating problem, and on maintaining weight within healthy
levels.</p>
<p style="color: #f08c2a;">EDNOS:</p>
<p>This
stands for 'eating disorders not otherwise specified'. It is a term
sometimes used to diagnose someone who has an obvious eating disorder,
but does not quite fit into the criteria for any one other disorder. It
is common therefore amongst children or men, or if an eating disorder
is picked up early.</p></div>
