Of the multiple eating disorders, binge eating is typified by compulsive overeating. Suffers are helpless to control their behavior and will continue to eat long after their appetite has been sated; or when they are not even hungry. It is unique from other eating and food issues as there are no consequent episodes of purging (Halmi,2010).
There is an array of emotional and/or behavioral symptoms associated with binge-eating disorder.
Diagnosing any type of eating disorder is particularly challenging because it is often accompanied by secrecy, denial and outright shame. When a patient seeks the expertise of a medical professional the physician should be on guard for a number of diagnostic features specific to binge-eating versus other forms of eating disorders.
Now that the DSM 5 has formally classified binge eating as a separate disorder, a renewed focus on psychologist based treatments is expected. There are currently a variety of interventions for binge-eating disorder that have shown great promise in helping sufferers gain control of this problem.
There is a growing body of research to support pharmacotherapy as an alternative treatment for BED.
The prognosis for those who suffer from binge-eating disorder is actually very hopeful if the condition is recognized and addressed. Mental health professionals trained in the treatment of this disorder claim a high success rate.
Binge-eating does not have to control an individual’s life. The first step in bringing this disorder under control is to seek medical and therapeutic help. A full physical work-up by a professional will set the stage for adopting healthier eating and exercise habits that will put a patient on the road to weight loss and better lifestyle choices.
