Which of the following is NOT a type of eating disorder?

Obesity is not classified as an eating disorder in the same way that anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder are. Eating disorders are specific mental health conditions characterized by severe disturbances in eating behaviors, such as extreme dieting, binge eating, or purging, often accompanied by an unhealthy concern for body weight or shape.

Anorexia involves restricting food intake leading to severe weight loss, bulimia is characterized by cycles of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors such as vomiting, and binge eating disorder consists of recurrent episodes of eating large quantities of food without purging. While obesity can result from a variety of factors, including lifestyle choices, genetics, and other health issues, it does not inherently reflect the same psychological and behavioral complexities associated with eating disorders. Therefore, obesity is seen as a potential health outcome rather than a specific eating disorder like the others mentioned.
