Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amile's behavior of restricting food intake and exercising excessively without a sense of lack of control over eating fits the criteria for the restricting type of anorexia nervosa. The binge/purge type involves episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors, and the self-evaluation type involves placing excessive importance on body weight/shape in self-evaluation. Body dysmorphic disorder involves preoccupation with perceived flaws or defects in one's appearance, which is not the primary concern in Amile's case.
