Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Binge eating disorder is characterized by recurrent episodes of eating large amounts of food within a relatively short period of time, accompanied by a sense of loss of control and distress. Unlike bulimia nervosa, individuals with binge eating disorder do not engage in compensatory behaviors such as purging or excessive exercise. Anorexia nervosa is characterized by a persistent restriction of energy intake leading to significantly low body weight, and intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, and disturbance in self-perceived weight or shape. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a mental disorder characterized by recurrent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions), and/or repetitive behaviors (compulsions).
