Eating disorders are primarily diagnosed on the behavioral health/DSM side, since it's usually not a physically driven issue.
It's unfortunate that such trickery exists in mass media that it convinces women to covet an unrealistic standard. Although then again, sometimes it's not an issue of appearance, it's more an issue of control of a person's body/life. Sad.
