“According to the Daily Mail, psychiatric organizations have started to recognize binge eating as a mental disorder, classifying it, along with anorexia and bulimia, as an eating disorder. Similar to bulimia, binge eating disorder is characterized by compulsive eating, only in this case, there’s no purge. It is often accompanied by depression, and the bingeing is usually done in secret.

So, what are the benefits of classifying the issue as a psychiatric disorder? With more careful study of how our brains respond to the food we eat (and why we eat it), more specific, successful treatments could be on the horizon.
