Binge Eating Disorder

Women face more stress today than ever before. Some of this stress passes quickly, while other stress lingers and leaves lasting effects on your mind and body. To cope with life’s pressures, some women fall into negative behavior patterns like binge eating disorder. Thankfully, binge eating disorder treatment can help individuals stop these negative patterns and learn healthy ways of dealing with the worries, hurdles, and pitfalls of daily life.

What is Binge Eating Disorder?

Binge eating disorder (BED) is an eating disorder involving repeated episodes of eating too much food quickly and to discomfort. During these episodes, individuals lose control to the binge. Afterward, they experience shame, guilt, and distress. They may also suffer the weight and health consequences of binge patterns.

BED is one of the most common eating disorders in America, often called emotional overeating. In fact, many women experience this eating disorder without realizing it. They simply know they have episodes during which they eat too much and lose control. For many, so much control is lost and the binge eating affects life so negatively that they need binge eating disorder treatment.

Common Signs of Binge Eating Disorder

  • Eating too much food in a limited period
  • Loss of control over eating
  • Eating rapidly during an episode
  • Eating so much food during an episode that you feel discomfort or pain
  • Not feeling hungry, but eating too much anyway
  • Hiding the eating episodes and feeling disgusted or depressed afterward
  • Feeling very distressed about the loss of control while eating
  • Binge eating at least once a week for three months or more
Although binge eating consequences can be severe, binge eating disorder is treatable. If you or someone you know needs help, contact our binge eating disorder treatment center today.
