Eating disorders: overeating misconception

Overeating is an extremely large problem that is all too often ignored. When many people think of eating disorders, overeating isn't something that comes to mind. However, compulsive overeating or binge eating is, in fact, an eating disorder. In addition, it is the most rapidly growing eating disorder facing the world today, having already surpassed anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa in reported cases.

Overeating, or binge eating, is similar to bulimia nervosa in that it involves recurrent episodes of bingeing. However, after the bingeing has occurred, overeaters do not engage in any purging behavior or attempt to rid themselves of the food. The activity often takes place in secret, and is accompanied by feelings of shame. Overeating is often linked to emotional eating, as well, as a coping mechanism for stress depression, anxiety, anger, or other negative emotions.
