Binge-Eating Disorder

Captions available

The idea

Binge-eating disorder involves recurrent episodes of eating unusually large amounts with a sense of loss of control, without regular compensatory behavior.

In practice

Episodes are followed by distress and shame rather than by any corrective behavior.

Where people slip

This is the most common eating disorder and the one least often recognized as one.
