A client presents with a history of restricting food intake, an intense fear of gaining weight, and a distorted perception of body image. What condition is the client most likely experiencing?
Anorexia nervosa
Bulimia nervosa
Binge eating disorder
Body dysmorphic disorder
The correct answer is anorexia nervosa, a condition characterized by restricted food intake, an intense fear of weight gain, and a distorted body image. Bulimia nervosa, although also involving body image concerns, is associated with binge eating and compensatory behaviors (e.g., vomiting or excessive exercise). Binge eating disorder involves significant overeating without compensatory behaviors. Body dysmorphic disorder involves preoccupation with perceived defects in appearance but does not necessarily include abnormal eating behaviors.
