What Is OSFED?
OSFED (Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders) is a serious eating disorder diagnosis used when symptoms cause significant distress and medical risk but don’t fit every criterion of one specific disorder. OSFED is common, often misunderstood, and just as dangerous as anorexia or bulimia.
At Virtue Eating Disorder Las Vegas, we treat the full spectrum of OSFED presentations: atypical anorexia, bulimia of low frequency/duration, binge eating of low frequency/duration, purging disorder, and night eating syndrome. Our team addresses medical safety, food and body thoughts, and the emotions that keep the cycle going—without shame.
5 Signs & Symptoms of OSFED
Significant Distress Around Food and Body
Intense fear of weight gain, body checking, or rigid food rules, even if you don’t meet all criteria for another diagnosis.
Restrict–Binge–Purge Cycles
Alternating periods of restricting with episodes of bingeing or purging (vomiting, laxatives, diuretics, or compulsive exercise).
“Normal” Weight With Serious Symptoms
OSFED can occur at any weight. Medical problems and psychological pain are real even if weight looks stable.
Secretive Eating or Food Rituals
Eating alone, night eating, cutting food into tiny pieces, sticking to “safe” foods, or avoiding meals with others.
Emotional & Physical Red Flags
Guilt, shame, anxiety, dizziness, fatigue, hair loss, menstrual changes, or gut issues—often hidden behind high achievement or perfectionism.
