I'm hoping some people on this forum can help me out. I'm not sure what 'binge eat' means and I'm looking for some clarification. Is it an eating disorder? Is it a type of eating habit? Can someone explain what it is and how it affects people? Any help would be much appreciated.

Binge eating, also known as compulsive overeating, is a type of disordered eating behavior characterized by episodes of uncontrollable overeating. During a binge eating episode, an individual may feel like they have no control over their eating, and the amount of food consumed can be much larger than what is typically eaten in one sitting. Binge eating can be a symptom of an underlying mental disorder, such as depression or an eating disorder, and can also be associated with feelings of guilt, shame, and embarrassment. Treatment for binge eating typically involves cognitive-behavioral therapy and other forms of therapy, as well as medication.

Binge eating is an eating disorder characterized by consuming large amounts of food in a single sitting, often to the point of feeling uncomfortably full. It is often done in secret and is followed by feelings of guilt, shame, and embarrassment. People who suffer from binge eating disorder may feel out of control around food and struggle to stop eating once they have started.

Binge eating is different from overeating, which is simply consuming more food than is necessary to feel full. It is also distinct from bulimia, which involves purging through vomiting or laxative use after a binge.

Binge eating can be motivated by a variety of factors, including stress, anxiety, depression, or a sense of hopelessness. It can also be triggered by food cues, such as the sight or smell of food, or even the time of day.

The physical symptoms of binge eating disorder can include weight gain, fatigue, abdominal pain, and digestive issues. Psychological symptoms may include low self-esteem, guilt, and feelings of helplessness.

Treatment for binge eating disorder typically involves a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy, nutrition counseling, and medication. The goal of treatment is to help the person learn to better manage their emotions and to create a healthier relationship with food.
