Binge Eating Disorder (BED)

Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is a mental health condition characterized by repeated episodes of consuming large amounts of food quickly and feeling a lack of control during these episodes. Unlike occasional overeating, BED involves frequent, distressing binges that can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, and physical discomfort. It is often associated with emotional distress, such as stress or sadness. BED is recognized as a legitimate disorder that may require professional treatment, including therapy and sometimes medication, to help manage the urges and address underlying emotional issues.
