Binge eating disorder

Binge-eating disorder is a serious eating disorder characterized by frequent episodes of eating large amounts of food in a short period, often accompanied by feelings of loss of control and distress. Unlike bulimia, individuals with this disorder do not engage in compensatory behaviors, such as vomiting or excessive exercise. This behavior can lead to physical health issues, like obesity and diabetes, as well as emotional challenges, such as anxiety and depression. Treatment typically involves therapy, lifestyle changes, and sometimes medication, aimed at understanding the triggers and developing healthier eating habits.
