Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder includes presentations that:

Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED) is a diagnostic category used when an individual's eating behaviors cause significant distress or impairment but do not fully meet the criteria for any of the other specific eating disorders outlined in the DSM-5-TR, such as Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, or Binge Eating Disorder. This category serves to recognize those who experience serious problems related to eating and body image, but whose presentations may vary or not align perfectly with the defined disorders.

In this context, presentations that cause distress but do not meet the specific diagnostic criteria directly align with OSFED. This encompasses a wide range of atypical eating behaviors and patterns that are still clinically concerning. The flexibility of the OSFED category allows clinicians to provide appropriate diagnoses and treatments for individuals who suffer from eating-related issues yet possess diverse symptoms that do not necessarily fit into the pre-defined categories.

The other choices suggest various presentations that either fit within other defined categories or do not accurately represent the purpose of OSFED as a diagnostic category.
