Did you know that the original criteria for anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa were proposed by various researchers? While many may have assumed that these diagnostic criteria were established by a single person, the truth is that different individuals made significant contributions. In 1944, a. West presented initial criteria for anorexia nervosa, followed by c. Stunkard in 1959 who further expanded on the classification. However, it was in 1973 that d. Bruch offered a groundbreaking perspective on anorexia nervosa, and in 1979, b. Russell introduced the criteria for bulimia nervosa. This collaborative effort and evolution of understanding have paved the way for improved diagnosis and treatment of these complex eating disorders.
