The most common form of disordered eating is Binge Eating Disorder (BED). BED is characterized by recurrent episodes of eating large amounts of food in a short period of time, often accompanied by feelings of guilt and shame. People who struggle with BED often feel out of control of their eating, and may feel that they cannot stop eating until they are physically uncomfortable. Other common forms of disordered eating include:

Anorexia Nervosa

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by extreme restriction of food intake, leading to extreme weight loss. People with anorexia nervosa often have an intense fear of gaining weight, and may compulsively weigh themselves or engage in extreme dieting behaviors.

Bulimia Nervosa

Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating, followed by compensatory behaviors such as self-induced vomiting, excessive exercise, or the misuse of laxatives or diuretics. People with bulimia nervosa often feel out of control of their eating and may experience guilt and shame after a binge.

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is an eating disorder characterized by an extreme avoidance of certain foods, or an inability to eat enough food due to a lack of appetite or food aversion. People with ARFID often experience extreme weight loss or nutritional deficiencies, and may be at risk for other physical and mental health complications.

Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED)

Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED) is a category of eating disorders that include a wide range of disordered eating behaviors not categorized as Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, or ARFID. Examples of OSFED include night-eating syndrome, purging disorder, and atypical anorexia nervosa.

The most common form of disordered eating is binge eating disorder (BED). BED is an eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of eating large quantities of food in a short period of time, often with a feeling of loss of control during the episode. BED is the most common eating disorder in the United States, affecting approximately 3.5% of adults in a given year.

People who suffer from BED often feel ashamed or embarrassed of their behavior, which can lead to social isolation and further stress. BED is associated with feelings of guilt and depression, as well as an increased risk for medical complications such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and sleep apnea.

BED is typically treated with a combination of psychotherapy and medication. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is often used to help people with BED identify and change their patterns of behavior. Medications such as antidepressants can also be used to treat BED by reducing the urge to binge on food.

If you or someone you know is struggling with disordered eating, it is important to seek professional help. An experienced mental health professional can help you or your loved one develop healthier eating habits and manage any underlying psychological issues that may be contributing to the disordered eating.
