Binge Eating Disorder - Signs, Causes & Treatment

Binge eating disorder or BED is widely known as compulsive survival and often perceived to be a serious psychiatric condition. It involves people who often eat abnormal foods or binge eating while feeling helpless to stop because of loss of self-control. This disorder – which has been reported to affect almost 2% of the world's population – could lead to feelings of disappointment, guilt, anguish and distress among people affected. People often use binge-eating to manage these feelings of misfortune temporarily as a coping mechanism for dealing with emotionally charged problems such as depression and anxiety.

While Anorexia nervous and bulimia nervous are known eating disorders, there is currently very little awareness about BED. This data makes for a somewhat interesting reading, considering that BED is more prevalent than anorexia and bulimia combined.

While Binge Eating Disorder can affect almost anybody at any age and gender, it typically affects people from childhood to adolescence 20s.

Binge eating Disorder causes

The exact cause that leads to BED is currently largely unknown. Having said that, the following factors include a range of biological , psychological, environment / social-cultural factors that influence the development of this order:
Biological factors: A possible connection to the binge eating disability is said to have hormonal irregularities or genetic mutations that are specific to food addiction or compulsive eating. An person who has been at higher risk for history of weight fluctuations. According to a report published in A Journal of Clinical Science, a correlation between low serotonin levels and binge eating behaviour, has been identified.
Environmental (social / cultural) factors: External influences or trauma can increase the risk of a person suffering from BED. Individuals suffering from sexual assault, bullying or social pressure, as well as corporal shame, are therefore especially vulnerable to BED, particularly in the case of people who are suffering from sexual violence. In some individuals BED can also trigger media influences, such as meeting unrealistics ideals of beauty.
Psychological factors: The mental perception of the body and BED is said to be linked directly. In people with low self-esteem , poor body image, a low depression, hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD), anxiety disorder etc., BED can usually be caused. Studies have found that BED may lead to failure to cope with the stress associated with these predisposing factors.

Treatments

Binge food consists of consuming abundant amounts of food in a short period, not only unhealthy but also seriously medically sensitive. Since our bodies have not been engineered to cope with large amounts in a very short time, gastric, intestinal and digestive issues can potentially extend from the stomach to the esophagus. Many potential risks include cardiovascular disease, diabetes type 2, insomnia or sleep apnea, muscle and/or joint pain, gall-bladder disease , high blood pressure, depression and / or anxiety, etc.
In addition to the physical dangers associated with binge food, the affected individual also has to cope with social and emotional difficulties. Therefore, BED treatment should be sought as quickly as possible. If you want to break your addiction and get along
