What is OSFED and what counts as disordered eating?

Disordered eating doesn't just mean eating disorders. It includes the binge and restrict cycle, the dieting cycle, restriction of amounts or times of food, overeating in the name of a cheat day and then fasting the next day. Sometimes a person’s symptoms don’t exactly fit the expected symptoms for the clinical criteria for eating disorders. In that case, they might be diagnosed with an “other specified feeding or eating disorder” (OSFED).
