Abstract
Eating disorders commonly present during the adolescent and
young adult years, and are complex in that they are a group of psychiatric diagnoses with
medical complications.
The diagnosis of an eating disorder can often go undetected while a patient is being
evaluated for organic causes of weight loss. Anorexia nervosa, in particular, has the
highest mortality rate of any psychiatric diagnosis. In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual
of Mental Disorders 5th Edition (DSM-5), there are several diagnoses that are classified as
eating or feeding disorders.
This article will discuss anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, with a focus on
medical and psychiatric emergencies that are important for primary care providers to keep in
mind when caring for adolescents and young adults.
