-->In the Canadian health system, feeding and eating disorders are diagnosed by medical doctors or psychologists. These diagnoses are guided by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association. The manual is revised periodically with input from professionals in Canada and the United States. The most recent version (DSM-5) was published in 2013, with revisions to the feeding and eating disorders section intended to be inclusive of a wider range of disordered eating, to aid in the identification of males affected, and to facilitate earlier identification of eating disorders.
