Self-diagnosis of eating disorders should be made by qualified healthcare professionals.

“However, diagnoses really need to be carried out by people who are trained in that particular field, and that have deep expertise in recognizing the symptomology, including some of the more subtle symptomology of eating disorders. So, if any of the symptoms resonate with you, by way of you thinking that you have this particular disorder or someone that, you know, has this disorder, I would take that seriously, but I would take that information to a qualified healthcare professional that could diagnose or rule out any of these possible disorders.”
