Regaining control over eating

Like bulimia, binge eating disorder involves the uncontrolled consumption of large amounts of food in a short period of time. Binge eating often occurs as a result of mental illness. The pathologically high amount of food intake activates the reward center, causing a short-term feeling of happiness in those affected. Binge eating disorder is a serious mental illness with far-reaching physical and psychological consequences.
