Binge Eating Disorder


Binge eating disorder is a type of eating disorder characterized by eating large amounts of food in a short period of time. This type of mental illness is believed to be one of the most common eating disorders in the United States. Similar to bulimia nervosa, individuals with binge eating disorder binge eat food. Unlike people with bulimia nervosa, they don't purge to compensate for their binges. Leaving this mental illness untreated can lead to obesity, which can increase the individual's risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.  All of these types of eating disorders have extremely negative effects on both the mind and body and need to be treated immediately if possible. If you struggle with binge eating disorder or another eating disorder, it is extremely important to seek medical help as soon as pisslbe, and confront your parents or friends about what you are strgglung with.
