Binge eating disorder is an eating disorder in which you consume large amounts of meals in a short period of time and are unable to control your impulses regarding food. It is different from normal overeating that almost every person does every once in a while. Binge eating disorder is now recognized as an official diagnosis because it is not only a matter of eating more food than normal. Instead, it is associated with deeper psychiatric issues such as anxiety or depression. People with binge eating disorders often develop additional mental stress and regret due to their abnormal eating habits. They also have an increased risk of other medical conditions such as diabetes or hypertension. It can be treated by proper counseling and therapy measures.
