Bulimia is an eating disorder. It is characterized by uncontrolled episodes of overeating, called bingeing. This is followed by purging with methods such as vomiting or misuse of laxatives. Bingeing is eating much larger amounts of food than you would normally eat in a short period of time, usually less than 2 hours. You may feel like you can’t stop or control these episodes of binge eating.

Binge eating disorder (BED) is a behavioral disorder characterized by chronic, compulsive overeating. While occasional overeating is normal, an eating disorder is a condition that you live with every day. It feels like it controls you and interferes with your mental, emotional and physical well-being. Binge eating means consuming large quantities of food in a short period and feeling like you can’t stop.
Signs and symptoms of binge eating disorder may include:
Many people may exhibit signs or symptoms of binge eating occasionally. When they begin to recur regularly (once a week or more), you may have a disorder. Environmental conditions such as stress and relationships can influence your behavior and affect your mental health. These conditions may combine with other causes to push you over the edge from occasional disordered behavior to meeting the criteria for BED.
