Should night eating syndrome be included in the DSM?
Article Abstract:
The status of the literature on night-eating syndrome (NES) was examined according to five criteria to determine whether NES warrants inclusion as a distinct eating disorder. The results showed that none of the five criteria was met suggesting that NES needs to be differentiated more clearly from other eating disorder syndromes and a uniform definition of NES needs to be developed.
