Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder
(OSFED)
Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder or “OSFED” is the diagnostic category used for those who have persistent disordered eating behaviors, but who do not fully meet criteria for any specific eating disorder diagnosis. This should not be interpreted as being less severe. People with OSFED have the same physical and emotional risks associated with other eating disorder diagnoses. People living with OSFED may struggle with self-doubt, often minimizing their own experiences of having an eating disorder.
Explore common social, mental, and physical symptoms of OSFED below. Please know that all people and eating disorders are unique, so you may observe many or none of these behaviors.
Common OSFED Symptoms
Fluctuation of body weight · Preoccupation with eating, dieting, or body size · Sensitivity to comments about food or eating · Distorted body image · Becoming socially withdrawn during meals · Secrecy around eating habits · Obsessive rituals around food · Compulsive exercising · Symptoms from any other eating disorders
