Ellen is underweight but not less than 85 percent of normal body weight. She often restricts her eating
  because she is intensely fearful of becoming fat. She binges and purges at least twice a week.
 
  According to
  the DSM-IV-TR she should be diagnosed
 
  A) with no form of eating disorder since her symptoms do not fit anorexia or bulimia.
  B) with anorexia nervosa, binge/purge subtype.
  C) with Binge Eating Disorder.
  D) with Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified.

Question 2

What role might a lack of safety signals play in the development and maintenance of generalized
  anxiety disorder?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

It is well-established that a lack of predictability and control creates stress. Safety signals
are environment cues that signal when it is appropriate to relax. For example, if you knew
your boss was always in a good mood on Friday, it might be safe to relax and not worry
about a mistake you made. The fact that it is Friday would serve as a safety signal. The
rest of the week, however, you should feel anxious about having made a mistake. When
safety signals are present, it signals that one can relax. In the absence of such signals,
anxiety prevails, providing a possible explanation for generalized anxiety disorder.
