What Is Binge Eating Disorder?

Binge eating disorder is an eating disorder in which people feel compelled to binge eat on a regular basis. Binge eating disorder involves the consumption of a large number of calories over a relatively short period of time, during which people experience a sense of loss of control. Bingeing is triggered by both physiological factors (hunger) and emotional factors such as stress, depression or anxiety, although this trigger is not always obvious.

As such binges can occur when a person is not hungry.

Binges may be planned in advance and will often involve “special” binge foods or foods that are avoided in the person’s day-to-day diet.
