Binge Eating Disorder
Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is a serious eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of eating large quantities of food, often to the point of discomfort. Unlike bulimia, individuals with BED do not engage in compensatory behaviors such as purging or excessive exercise after bingeing. This cycle can lead to significant physical and emotional distress, impacting every aspect of life.
Understanding Binge Eating Disorder
Characteristics and Warning Signs
- Frequent Binge Eating
- Eating in Secret
- Guilt or Distress
- Preoccupation with Food
- Emotional Eating
- Negative Internal Dialogue
Recognizing these signs early can lead to timely intervention, improving the chances of recovery.
