Binge eating disorder is an eating disorder characterized in the DSM-5 by recurring episodes of eating large quantities of food, (typically fast & to the point of discomfort); a feeling of a loss of control during the binge; experiencing shame, distress or guilt afterwards; and not regularly using unhealthy compensatory measures (e.g., purging) to counter the binge eating.
