Binge behaviour is a type of disordered eating that involves consuming an abnormally large amount of food in a short period of time. This behaviour is often associated with feelings of guilt, shame, and embarrassment afterwards. Binge eating disorder (BED) is an eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating. People with BED often consume large quantities of food without purging or other compensatory behaviours. Binging can be a sign of an underlying mental health issue such as depression, anxiety, or trauma. It is important to seek professional help if you or someone you know is exhibiting signs of binge behaviour, so that the underlying cause can be properly addressed.

It is characterized by a lack of control over the amount consumed and can be associated with a wide variety of negative physical and psychological consequences. Binge behavior is often seen in people who have difficulty controlling their impulses and is often associated with low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety.
Binge behavior is often seen in people who are trying to cope with stress or emotional pain. For example, someone who is struggling with a difficult situation in their life, such as a break-up, a death in the family, or a job loss, may turn to binge behavior as a way of numbing or avoiding their feelings. Binge behavior can also be a sign of an underlying mental health issue such as an eating disorder or substance abuse problem.
Binge behavior is often accompanied by feelings of guilt or shame, which can lead to further unhealthy behaviors in an attempt to cope or make up for the behavior. This can create a cycle of unhealthy behavior that can be difficult to break. People who engage in binge behavior are also at risk for developing more serious health problems such as obesity, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
