Binge Eating Disorder
Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is an eating disorder. It is characterized by the consumption of large volumes of food in an uncontrolled manner that is not followed by self-induced vomiting, fasting or excessive exercise. While there is no purging, there may be fasts or repetitive diets. Sometimes a person with BED can be overweight with several unsuccessful attempts at weight loss. Often the person feels anxious, tense, or depressed, and will attempt to relieve these moods by eating.
Some signs include:
- A feeling that one cannot stop eating or control what or how much one is eating
- Eating large amounts of food when not physically hungry
- Eating alone because of being embarrassed by how much one is eating
- Marked distress, disgust at oneself, depression, guilt
