Abstract
This article is focusing on changes and development of diagnostic criteria for eating disorders in ICD-10 and DSM-IV. It demonstrates some differences in these diagnostic systems and changes prepared for DSM-V as they are supposed to respect more clinical experiences and increase the benefit for clinical practice.
Also, it deals with the diagnoses that are underdiagnosed or less known and it describes newer therapeutic approaches currently discussed in the scientific literature.
