ʻAi ʻai, kapa ʻia hoʻi ai kāna hana a i ʻole ka ʻai ʻana (TCA), hōʻike i nā pilikia nui i ka ʻai ʻana. Manaʻo ʻia ke ʻano he "kūpono ʻole" no ka mea he ʻokoʻa ia mai nā hana ʻai maʻamau akā ma mua o nā mea āpau no ka mea he hopena maikaʻi ʻole i ke olakino kino a me ka noʻonoʻo o ke kanaka. Hoʻopilikia ka ACT i nā wahine he nui aʻe ma mua o nā kāne, a hoʻomaka pinepine i ka wā ʻōpio a i ʻole ka wā makua.

ʻO nā maʻi ʻai kaulana loa ʻo ka anorexia a me ka bulimia, akā aia kekahi. E like me nā maʻi noʻonoʻo, paʻakikī ke ʻike a hoʻokaʻawale i nā maʻi ʻai. ʻO ka mana hou loa o ka Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DSM-V, i paʻi ʻia i ka makahiki 2014, ke noi nei i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka wehewehe ʻana a me nā pae hoʻohālikelike o nā maʻi ʻai.

No ka laʻana, ʻai ka binge, kahi i hōʻike ʻia e ka ʻai ʻana i ka nui o ka meaʻai like ʻole, ua ʻike ʻia he ʻano ʻokoʻa.

ʻIke mākou i kēia manawa, e like me ka DSM-V:

• anorexia nūnū (ʻano paʻa a pili pū me ka ʻai nui);
• bulimia nervosa;
• maʻi ʻai nui;
• hānai koho;
• pica (ka ʻai ʻana i nā mea ʻai ʻole);
• merycism (nā mea o ka "rumination", ʻo ia hoʻi ka regurgitation a me ka remastication);
• TCA ʻē aʻe, i ʻōlelo ʻia a ʻaʻole paha.

Ma ʻEulopa, hoʻohana ʻia kekahi hoʻohālikelike ʻana, ʻo ka ICD-10. Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ʻo TCA i nā syndromes behavioral:

• Anorexia nervosa;
• Atypical anorexia nervosa;
• Bulimia;
• Atypical bulimia;
• ʻO ka ʻai nui e pili ana me nā pilikia physiological ʻē aʻe;
• ʻO ka luaʻi e pili ana me nā pilikia noʻonoʻo ʻē aʻe;
• Nā pilikia ʻai ʻē aʻe.

ʻO ka helu ʻana o ka DSM-V ka mea hou loa, e hoʻohana mākou iā ia ma kēia pepa.
