The purpose of this paper is to discuss the similarities and differences between the diagnostic criteria of feeding and eating disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) and International Classification of Diseases, eleventh edition (ICD-11). Feeding and eating disorders are clinically characterized by persistent disturbances in feeding or food-related behaviors that result in altered food consumption or absorption and significant impairment in physical health or social function. This paper discusses the similarities and differences of feeding and eating disorders in the two diagnostic manuals, in order to improve psychiatric and psychological workers’ understanding of the corresponding sections.
