Binge eating is more than just occasionally overeating. As this portion of the eMedTV library explains, it's a serious condition in which a person eats excessive amounts of food regularly. Symptoms and treatment methods are also discussed.
Common binge eating symptoms include eating faster than normal or until uncomfortably full. This portion of the eMedTV library contains a list of several common and often-overlooked symptoms of this condition.
People don't often end binge eating on their own -- in most cases, treatment is needed. This page of the eMedTV library describes methods used to help people stop binge eating, including therapy, nutritional counseling, and medication.
