804.415.7603Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED)
Individuals with other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED) don’t meet all the criteria for specific eating disorders, so it may be difficult to diagnose. For example, they may not meet the guidelines to be diagnosed with bulimia or anorexia. However, they do have some symptoms, which interfere with their lives significantly.

Fortunately, they can get this needed treatment at a center like Aster Springs.
