What is the definition or description of: secret binge eating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Binge eating: This is the essential feature of bulimia, i.e., eating vast amounts of food in short periods of time that have nothing to do with appetite, rather having to do with emotional dysregulation. The secrecy speaks to the shame felt by the patient.
