Binge Eating DisorderBinge eating disorder is characterized by compulsive overeating in which people consume huge amounts of food while feeling out of control and powerless to stop. The symptoms of binge eating disorder usually begin in late adolescence or early adulthood, often after a major diet. Seeing a professional therapist in some cases is the best way to help with binge eating disorders.
