Are you unable to stop eating even when you are completely full? Do you have the urge to consume food without reason or control? You might even suffer from feelings of fear, anger and shame after eating. Do all of these things sound familiar? These are the distinct symptoms of Binge Eating Disorder (B.E.D) and they are more common than you might think. It is estimated that between 2%-5% of the American population suffers from Binge Eating Disorder.
How Untreated B.E.D. Can Impact Your Life.
The physical and psychological consequences of B.E.D build over time – the longer it is with you, the more difficult it becomes to live with.
Physically, many sufferers develop devastating long term conditions such as diabetes, kidney disorders, heart problems and even stroke. From a psychological perspective it is very common to experience social anxiety, personal shame and guilt. Moreover, if left untreated, many sufferers will become clinically depressed.
