Binge eating is a pattern of disordered eating which consists of episodes of uncontrollable eating. It is a common symptom of eating disorders such as binge eating disorder and bulimia nervosa. During such binges, a person rapidly consumes an excessive quantity of food. A diagnosis of binge eating is associated with feelings of loss of control. Binge eating disorder is also linked with being overweight and obesity.
The DSM-5 includes a disorder diagnosis criterion for Binge Eating Disorder (BED). It is as follows:
Recurrent and persistent episodes of binge eating
Binge eating episodes are associated with three (or more) of the following:
Eating much more rapidly than normal
Eating until feeling uncomfortably full
Eating large amounts of food when not physically hungry
Eating alone because of being embarrassed by how much one is eating
Feeling disgusted with oneself, depressed, or very guilty after overeating
Marked distress regarding binge eating
Absence of regular compensatory behaviors (such as purging)
Typical warning signs of binge eating disorder include the disappearance of a large quantity of food in a relatively short period of time. A person who may be experiencing binge eating disorder may appear to be uncomfortable when eating around others or in public. A person may develop new and extreme eating patterns that they have never done before. These might include diets that cut out certain food groups completely such as a no dairy or no carb diet. Binge eating can begin before a first attempt at dieting. They might also steal or hoard food in unusual places. A person may be experiencing fluctuations in their weight. In addition, they may have feelings of disgust, depression, or guilt about overeating. Another possible warning sign of binge eating is that a person may be obsessed with their body image or weight.
Furthermore, patients who binge eat may also engage in other self-destructing behaviours like suicide attempts, drug use, shop-lifting, and drinking too much alcohol.

L’anorexie mentale (du grec ancien (anórexis) = « perte de l'appétit ») est l'un des troubles des conduites alimentaires (TCA). Elle se manifeste notamment par une préoccupation très forte de l'apparence, qui entraîne des restrictions alimentaires drastiques. Les sujets qui souffrent de ces troubles sont surtout des adolescentes, même s'il y a de plus en plus de garçons et d'adultes. Les causes sont inconnues et multiples. Les mécanismes sont probablement complexes.
Le syndrome d'hyperphagie incontrôlée ou hyperphagie boulimique (en Binge eating disorder) est un trouble des conduites alimentaires. Il se distingue de la boulimie par l'absence de contrôle du poids et donc l'absence de vomissements, de prise de laxatifs ou de pratique sportive excessive. L'évolution de cette variété est plus favorable en comparaison avec le trouble boulimique.
