The general public typically uses the term anorexia/anorexic loosely. However, the medical professions specifically categorize the progression of the condition into different names of illness; they describe the general condition as an Eating Disorder (ED) until the person exhibits symptoms outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).
While confusion exists, we would like to be a catalyst for clarification and unification for a cause that is burdened by stigma.
