Binge Eating Disorders01:23

Binge Eating Disorders

484
Binge eating disorder is a significant mental health condition characterized by recurrent episodes of excessive food consumption within a short period, accompanied by a perceived loss of control over eating behavior. Unlike occasional overeating, binge eating disorder is marked by distressing emotions such as guilt, shame, and anxiety following binge episodes. The disorder affects individuals across different ages and backgrounds, with profound implications for physical and psychological...

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins02:18

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

19.4K
Intrinsically disordered proteins are a group of proteins that do not fold into specific three-dimensional structures. Their structural flexibility allows them to complement ordered proteins to perform functions that are inaccessible to rigid structures. They are more common in eukaryotes than prokaryotes and may either be exclusively intrinsically disordered or hybrid proteins, consisting of a mix of ordered and disordered regions. The absence of a rigid structure in these proteins can be...

Bone Disorders

Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Disorders of Erythrocytes

2.2K
Disorders of erythrocytes, or red blood cells (RBCs), include a range of conditions affecting their number, shape, or function.
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.
On the other...

Disorders of Leukocytes01:27

Disorders of Leukocytes

2.0K
Leukocyte disorders can lead to either leukopenia, characterized by an abnormally low leukocyte count, or leukocytosis, marked by a very high leukocyte number.
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...

The gastrointestinal tract is susceptible to various disorders. If the lower esophageal sphincter is damaged, stomach acid can flow back into the esophagus, causing irritation and inflammation of the lining. This condition is called gastroesophageal reflux disease (known as heartburn) and may cause chest pain and difficulty swallowing. In the stomach, prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin, chronic alcohol consumption, bacterial infections such as Helicobacter...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry and Behavioral Science
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Eating Disorders Research

Background:

  • Binge-eating disorder (BED) is a recognized eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of excessive food consumption without compensatory behaviors.
  • BED is the most prevalent eating disorder, frequently co-occurring with other mental health conditions, obesity, and significant functional impairment.
  • Despite its prevalence and impact, BED remains underdiagnosed and inadequately treated in clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnostic criteria and clinical significance of binge-eating disorder (BED).
  • To highlight the multifactorial etiology and common comorbidities associated with BED.
  • To summarize current evidence-based treatment options for BED.

Main Methods:

  • Review of diagnostic criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition (DSM-5).
  • Synthesis of literature on the etiology, psychopathology, and comorbidity of BED.
  • Evaluation of evidence supporting psychotherapy, self-help, and pharmacotherapy for BED treatment.

Main Results:

  • BED is defined by binge eating episodes without regular compensatory behaviors.
  • The disorder presents with complex origins and is linked to significant mental and physical health issues, including obesity.
  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most established psychotherapy, and lisdexamfetamine is an FDA-approved medication for BED.

Conclusions:

  • Binge-eating disorder is a significant and common psychiatric condition requiring greater clinical attention.
  • Effective treatments, including psychotherapy (especially CBT) and pharmacotherapy, are available.
  • Further efforts are needed to improve the diagnosis and accessibility of evidence-based treatments for BED.
