Symptoms of Binge-Eating Disorder
Is binge-eating disorder (BED) just overeating, or is there more to it? Being overweight does not mean that a person has BED, though a person with BED is more likely to be overweight than others. Those with binge-eating disorder often feel intense guilt about their eating patterns.
