A person with a diagnosis of Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder (OSFED) has some of the symptoms of other Eating Disorders but may not clearly fit with another diagnosis. This doesn't mean the diagnosis is any less serious thank other Eating Disorders - a person with a diagnosis of OSFED may also have very disturbed eating behaviours, and/or compensatory behaviours, and/or body image distress.

OSFED is one of the most commonly diagnosed Eating Disorders, reflecting the individual differences that may occur in presentation.

More information is available from the National Eating Disorders Collaboration.
