A member asked:
Would a doctor classify it as binge eating if i eat a ton of food and can't stop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: That would be referred to as a binge eating episode. If, you were to do that over a prolonged period of weeks and multiple times per week then that would be considered a binge eating disorder, especially if weight gain were to accompany it. As in the case with any other psychiatric disorder physical causes should be ruled out.
