Binge eating disorder (BED) is characterized by frequent overeating (bingeing) – at least once a week over a period of three months. These binge episodes are also combined with feeling a lack of control, intense feelings of distress and three or more of the following behaviors:
Eating more rapidly than normal
Eating until feeling uncomfortably full
Eating large amounts of food even when not feeling physically hungry
Eating alone because of feelings of embarrassment stemming from how much one eats
Feeling disgusted with oneself, depressed or guilty after eating
