A Visual Guide to Understanding Eating Disorders

 3.Binge Eating Symptoms
Many of us overeat from time to time; binge eating is different. People describe feeling out of control when they overeat. They may eat more quickly than usual during a binge. They may eat until they are painfully full, or binge when they aren’t hungry. Many people with binge eating disorder say that stress, anxiety, depression, or boredom can trigger a binge.

4.Binge Eating Symptom: Guilt
It’s common for someone with binge eating disorder to feel guilty, ashamed, or depressed after a binge. This can lead to a vicious cycle in which bingeing causes emotional distress, and then emotional distress causes more bingeing. Guilt and shame cause many people with binge eating disorder to hide the behavior, which can make it harder to diagnose.
