Binge eating may be triggered by a variety of factors, including emotional distress, low self-esteem, dieting, or traumatic experiences. Psychological factors like stress, anxiety, or depression often play a role, as binge eating can be used as a coping mechanism. Additionally, societal pressures, genetic predisposition can contribute to binge eating patterns.
Symptoms include eating unusually large quantities of food within a short timeframe, feeling out of control during eating episodes, eating rapidly, and continuing to eat even when not hungry. Individuals with binge eating disorder may also feel shame or guilt afterward, and may try to hide their behavior, further adding to emotional distress.
