Binge Eating Disorder
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Binge eating disorder is an eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes in which a large amount of food is consumed in a short time, with a sense of loss of control and, afterward, distress or guilt.
How it shows up: Eating quickly and in secret, doing so without physical hunger, and feeling distress after the episode, unlike an occasional overindulgence.
When to seek care? It is advisable to seek help when these episodes recur, cause suffering, or affect health and daily life.
Which specialist treats it? Its management is usually joint between the psychiatrist or psychologist and the dietitian, who address both the emotional and the nutritional aspects. Seeking professional support is an important step toward recovering a healthier relationship with food.
