Signs or Symptoms of Binge eating disorder:
Symptoms of binge-eating disorder include:
- Recurrent episodes of binge eating, characterized by eating an
excessive amount of food within a discrete period of time and by a sense
of lack of control over eating during the episode
- The binge-eating episodes are associated with at least 3 of the
following: eating much more rapidly than normal; eating until feeling
uncomfortably full; eating large amounts of food when not feeling
physically hungry; eating alone because of being embarrassed by how much
one is eating; feeling disgusted with oneself, depressed, or very guilty
after overeating
- Marked distress about the binge-eating behavior
- The binge eating occurs, on average, at least 2 days a week for 6
months
- The binge eating is not associated with the regular use of
inappropriate compensatory behaviors (e.g., purging, fasting, excessive
exercise)
People with binge-eating disorder experience frequent episodes of
out-of-control eating, with the same binge-eating symptoms as those with
bulimia. The main difference is that individuals with binge-eating
disorder do not purge their bodies of excess calories. Therefore, many
with the disorder are overweight for their age and height. Feelings of
self-disgust and shame associated with this illness can lead to bingeing
again, creating a cycle of binge eating.
