This disorder is probably the most common eating disorder characterized by individuals eating an unusually large amount of food even when they are not hungry and feel their eating is out of control. They usually eat quickly and eat until they are uncomfortably full. Feelings of disgust, guilt and depression typically follow a binge episode. Most people with this problem are either overweight or obese, but normal-weight people also can have the disorder.People with binge eating disorder are usually very upset by their binge eating and may become depressed. Research has shown that those with binge eating disorder report more health problems, stress, trouble sleeping, and suicidal thoughts than people without an eating disorder. Individuals who suffer from binge eating disorder often feel badly about themselves and may miss work, school, or social activities to binge eat.
