interrelated conditions:

2. amenorrhea (irregular or absent menstrual periods) and
3. osteoporosis
2. Diabulimia: Deliberate insulin underuse in people with Type 1 diabetes for the purposes of weight loss
3. Orthorexia: Orthorexia nervosa is not currently recognized as a clinical diagnosis in the DSM-5, but many
people struggle with symptoms associated with this term.
Those who have an "unhealthy obsession" with otherwise healthy eating may be suffering from "orthorexia nervosa,"
a term which literally means "fixation on righteous eating." Orthorexia starts out as an innocent attempt to eat more
healthfully, but orthorexics become fixated on food quality and purity.
4. Rumination Disorder: the regurgitation of recently eaten food into the mouth followed by either rechew-
ing, reswallowing, or spitting it out
5. Pica: an abnormal craving or appetite for nonfood substances, such as dirt, paint, or clay that lasts for at least 1
month

7. Refeeding syndrome: a syndrome consisting of metabolic disturbances that occur as a result of reinstitu-
tion of nutrition to patients who are starved, severely malnourished
-can be fatal if note recognized. If potassium, phosphate, and magnesium are low this should be corrected
-usually occurs within first 4 days of refeeding
leads to: confusion, coma, convulsions, and cardiac failure
8. Renourishment: process of avoiding refeeding syndrome.
9. Medication for Bulimia: Fluoxetine has shown best efficacy in tx bulimia. However other SSRIs like
