What is Binge Eating Disorder?

Binge eating disorder is defined as compulsive overeating, in which people tend to consume huge amount of food while plagued with the inability to stop.
Symptoms of binge eating disorder generally occur in late adolescence and early adulthood. Usually lasting two hours, a binge eating episode may go activate and deactivate all day long.

It is marked by eating even when one is sated. Affected individual may eat at an extremely fast pace while barely registering what they are eating. Unlike bulimia, there are no attempts to counter the binges via purging or fasting.

It is generally accompanied by feeling of disgust, weakness and self-loathing. Although very common in adults, binge eating disorder does not receive the same media coverage as anorexia nervosa and bulimia.

A serious disorder, binge eating disorder is treatable. With proper exercise and sleep, it can be managed.
