In analyzing these diagnoses it appears that one way the DSM distinguishes between criteria for each disorder is to identify and note the interaction between particular clinical characteristics associated with behavior, cognition and/or affect. The criteria may consider the presence or absence of certain behavioral, cognitive or affective forms as a guarantee of the diagnosis of a certain disorder. For example, Bulimia Nervosa includes as a diagnostic criterion “Eating, in a given period of time, an amount of food that is significantly greater than what most individuals would eat in a similar period of time and under similar circumstances (e.g. 345).” This would obviously be behavior. The disorder also includes as a criterion “A sense of lack of control over eating during the episode (affect) (p. 345).” Behavioral, cognitive and affective patterns are present in Female Sexual Interest/Sexual Arousal Disorder such as the absence of “interest in sexual activity” or the lack of “erotic thoughts” among other key criteria, can lead to a diagnosis of the disorder (p. 433). For Anorexia Nervosa the criteria include “Restriction (behavior) of energy intake (in the form of food) and “fear (effect) of becoming fat or fat (p. 338).” For Tobacco Use Disorder the criteria include the “Desire” to indulge
