Binge eating is an eating disorder in which a person consumes an unusual large amount of food. Binge eating is common for people who are going through depression. When things like a death of a family member or friend, or something like parents are divorcing it is extremely tough. Some people use a food as a form of comfort which causes them to eat way too much. It is so easy to look to food as a way of cope with things so I can understand how people develop this disorder. It is probably most common when people are experiencing a death of a family member or friend because it is pretty much losing a part of your support system that a person needs. Symptoms of Binge eating are low self-esteem, loss of sexual desire, and eating extremely fast. Although Binge eating is not like the other eating disorders, it is still extremely dangerous. Some people can actually die because of cardiac and respiratory attack. Other dangers include diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Treatments for Binge eating include group or individual therapy, behavioral weight-loss therapy, become active and limit the food that is left in the house. It is important that these people get help because they need it. It seems like a pretty gross disorder but I can see how a person can start the habit of eating a lot. I know it would probably so easy for me because I love food it is so good but unlike the people that have this disorder I am able to control myself and no when it is time to stop eating. I do not know anyone with this disorder but I have seen a bunch of shows on television with people that have this disorder. It seems like a disorder that can really ruin your life because most people become obese. Being obese seems horrible because they can not do the things that average sized people can do such as playing outside such as a game of football or soccer because carrying that much weight makes it extremely hard to be any bit active. It is extremely sad to see how many people suffer from this disorder.
