Differential Diagnosis
Original: "The distinction between the diagnoses of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS) is often difficult to make as there is considerable overlap between patients diagnosed with these conditions. Seemingly minor changes in a patient's overall behavior or attitude can change a diagnosis from "anorexia: binge-eating type" to bulimia nervosa."

Expansion: A main factor differentiating binge-purge anorexia from bulimia is the gap in physical weight. Someone with bulimia is ordinarily at a healthy weight, or slightly overweight. Someone with binge-purge anorexia is commonly underweight.
