Binge Eating Disorder, commonly called BED, is a serious condition in which an individual consistently eats large amounts of food uncontrollably. It is a type of eating disorder that can take a toll on one’s mental and physical well-being. Although the causes of Binge Eating Disorder are still not entirely clear, certain factors are believed to play a role. Emotional distress, such as anxiety, depression, or stress, is often a trigger for binge eating. Certain life circumstances, such as job loss, relationship problems, or the death of a loved one, may also contribute to the development of Binge Eating Disorder.
