Quick Summary:

• Binge-Eating Disorder (BED) is an eating disorder, which involves recurrent episodes of eating large portions of food even when one is not hungry. It may be described as a form of compulsive behavior
• The eating episodes occur at least once a week and spans over a period of 3 months. It is not accompanied by compensatory episodes of purging (via fasting or vomiting) or laxative abuse, which is often the case in bulimia nervosa (another eating disorder that can be potentially life-threatening)
• This disorder has been often shown to run in families. Both genetic and environmental factors may play a contributory role towards the development of Binge-Eating Disorder
• Individuals with Binge-Eating Disorder often experience feelings of guilt and embarrassment, and might binge eat alone. Those diagnosed with this disorder may most likely have coexisting mood and anxiety disorders, or indulge in harmful practices such as substance abuse
• Binge-Eating Disorder is diagnosed with a combination of psychological examination, as well as physical examination. The American Psychiatric Association published Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) lists certain criteria for evaluating and diagnosing individuals with BED
• The complications of Binge-Eating Disorder include obesity and obesity-associated medical conditions including cardiac and respiratory related conditions. In general, the affected individuals are known to have a poorer quality of life
• Most individuals with BED benefit from a combination treatment of psychotherapy and medication. The prognosis for Binge-Eating Disorder depends on multiple factors. However, with ample medical treatment and good family support, most individuals are able to lead a healthy life with an absence of serious complications
