Causes and Treatment for Binge Eating

Binge eating disorder is a type of eating disorder which affects millions of people over the world. People suffering from this disorder eat a large amount of food in a very short period of time. They get a felling of comfort when they binge and generally have feeling a loss of control over their eating. This disorder is different from bulimia nervosa or binge-purge syndrome because people suffering form this disorder does not purge or abuse any laxatives after a binge episode. Because of this striking difference between the two disorders many a times it becomes difficult to identify if you are suffering form this disorder or not. A solution for this could be careful watch over the behavior of the person as most of the people with binge eating disorder would have frequent eating episodes which involve large amounts of food which is considered abnormally large for others. They have frequent feeling where they are not able to control how much they eat. They eat more rapidly then usual until they are uncomfortably full, they eat large amounts of food even if they are not mentally hungry, they often feel embarrassed about the quantity of food they eat so they often eat food alone, and they would have a feeling of disgust, guilt and depression after overeating. Most of the people with binge eating disorders are obese but normal weight people can also suffer from this disorder. The complications of binge eating disorder are all related to obesity like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and some cancers. With correct guidance and diet this disorder can be treated effectively.
