Binge Eating Disorder

Binge Eating Disorder

Binge eating disorder is a psychological condition characterized by episodes of uncontrolled consumption of large amounts of food in a short period, typically <2 hours. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR), binge eating disorder involves consuming more food compared to what is typical in similar circumstances at least once a week for 3 months without compensatory behaviors such as purging or excessive exercise. The disorder is also associated with at least 3 of the following behaviors—eating rapidly, eating until uncomfortably full, eating large amounts when not hungry, eating alone due to embarrassment, and feeling disgusted, depressed, or guilty afterward. Binge eating disorder is associated with significant distress and impairment in daily life, and its severity ranges from mild, defined as 1 to 3 episodes per week, to extreme with >14 episodes per week. Management involves assessing binge frequency, triggers, and associated emotions and implementing effective treatments, including cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy. Pharmacotherapy and behavioral weight loss strategies may also be beneficial in some patients. This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance the learner’s competence in identifying binge eating disorder, performing the recommended evaluation, and implementing an appropriate interprofessional approach when managing the psychological and medical aspects of this condition.
