The typical characteristics for binge-eating disorder include binge-eating episodes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Binge-eating disorder is characterized by frequent episodes of consuming large amounts of food to the point of feeling uncomfortably full, often accompanied by feelings of guilt or shame afterwards. Unlike bulimia nervosa, these episodes are not followed by purging through methods such as vomiting or laxative use. Therefore, choice A is the best answer. Choices B, C, and D are all incorrect because binge-eating disorder does cause distress, occurs more than once per week, and cannot be controlled or stopped at will.
