There have been several studies done or articles written about the problem with the ED-NOS category, and the fact that over 50% of those with e.d's fall into this residual category shows that it really is not effective. However, just expanding the diagnostic criteria for AN or BN doesn't really do the job either. As these authors show, most people with e.d's cross over between disorders, or vary at different time points in the severity of symptoms. Having a more effective and detailed method to label the diagnosis (such as the numbering system) is essential to ensuring better treatment and research about e.ds.
