Welcome back to Psych-Minded!
I'm your host Kalley Marie and today we're going to continue on with our eating disorders
series and discuss Binge Eating Disorder.
[Intro Music]
Binge Eating Disorder is the newest, most formally recognized eating disorder currently
in the DSM.
It was added a couple of years ago, along with the main eating disorders such as Anorexia
and Bulimia.
I remember a decade ago when I first started studying eating disorders and getting really
into psychology that, this was not something that was really discussed in the realm of
eating disorders.
It was thought that if you had an eating disorder it was either one of the main such as Anorexia
or Bulimia.
And that simply is not true.
We know now that there is a lot of variation within the eating disorder realm and certainly
compulsive overeating, or Binge Eating Disorder, is a component of that.
So what's really exciting about it being formally acknowledged as a disorder, is that people
that struggle with it can actually get help through their insurance.
So that's why it makes me sort of excited that this is something that we are finally
recognizing as a disorder because there are a lot of people who feel that they cannot
control their eating habits and now we have a way for them to get the psychological help
that they need through their insurance since it is formally recognized.
I know that labels can be difficult and nobody wants to be labeled as having some sort of
disorder, but it does open up a lot of doors and sort of put people on the right pathway
to getting help out of that.
So the main symptoms of Binge Eating Disorder include eating large quantities of food, particularly
very quickly.
Someone might sit down, for example, to eat a plate of food that is 3-4 times the normal
size of a serving and do that 2 or 3 other times within 30 minutes.
So large amounts of food are being eaten in a very small amount of time.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a formal meal.
A lot of people with Binge Eating Disorder find themselves going back to the kitchen
repeatedly or just snacking on different things throughout the day without really being able
to stop.
They feel a lack of control over what they're eating, especially the ability to control
what they eat in the first place.
There is a sense of compulsion and obsession at getting the food that they desire and satisfying
that craving.
A binge episode is typically associated with the person feeling very guilty or shameful
for what they are doing.
They may only eat in the privacy of their own home or when other people are not around
because they feel a sense of shame surrounding their food intake.
Socially, just like with any other eating disorder, this makes it very difficult to
lead a normal life and can be detrimental not being able to enjoy going out with friends
or going and celebrating when food is involved.
So following one of these binge episodes, the individual with Binge Eating Disorder
is likely to feel very shameful and guilty and uncomfortable, as well as even sick to
their stomach.
Their self-esteem is likely to take a dive with each episode of binging that occurs and
they may find it impossible to find the motivation to exercise or start on a healthy diet.
Physically, you may notice somebody with Binge Eating Disorder has frequent weight fluctuations
and they may gain massive amounts of weight in a short amount of time, which can be very
physically painful and cause a lot of problems, as well.
They may complain of fatigue or stomach issues or other ailments, such as muscle aches or
joint pain.
If you or someone you know is struggling with Binge Eating Disorder, know you are not alone.
In recent years a lot of wonderful resource and advocacy has come up surrounding this
disorder in order to get people the help that they need.
