Academy for eating disorders position paper: Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses

Klump, Kelly L., Bulik, Cynthia M., Kaye, Walter H., Treasure, Janet, Tyson, Edward·2009·International Journal of Eating Disorders

Abstract

It is the position of the Academy for Eating Disor-ders (AED) that anorexia nervosa and bulimia nerv-osa, along with their variants, are biologically based, serious mental illnesses (BBMI) that warrant the same level and breadth of health care coverage as conditions currently categorized in this way (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder). As set forth below, we advocate this position unequivocally based on an emerging science that affirms with a reasonable degree of medical and scientific certainty that eat-ing disorders are significantly heritable; influenced by alterations of brain function; significantly impair cognitive function, judgment, and emotional stabil-ity; and restrict the life activities of persons afflicted with these illnesses. Accordingly, the denial or restriction of equitable and sufficient treatment necessary to avert serious health consequences and risk of death is untenable and should be vigorously protested.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
