Binge eating disorder is a psychological disturbance characterized by recurrent episodes of eating large quantities of food in a short period of time and feeling a lack of control over eating during these episodes. It is associated with obesity as the excessive consumption of food leads to weight gain. Muscle dysmorphia (B) is a disorder related to body image and is often seen in individuals who engage in excessive exercise or weightlifting to attain a muscular physique. Activity disorder (C) is not a recognized disorder. Bulimia (D) is also a psychological disorder related to eating, but it is characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating followed by behaviors such as purging, fasting or excessive exercise to prevent weight gain. It is not always associated with obesity.
