Evident on the tongue are elevated structures known as papillae (singular = papilla), which house the mechanisms for the transduction of gustatory stimuli. Four distinct types of papillae exist, each identified by their unique morphological attributes: the circumvallate,...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry and Psychology
  • Neurobiology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Eating disorders are increasing, with Binge Eating Disorder (BED) newly recognized in DSM-5 and ICD-11.
  • BED is the most prevalent eating disorder, often linked to overweight/obesity.
  • Stigmatization, shame, and guilt contribute to BED often going undetected and untreated.

Purpose:

  • Provide a comprehensive overview of Binge Eating Disorder.
  • Detail diagnostic criteria, psychopathology, epidemiology, and comorbidities.
  • Outline developmental factors, maintenance mechanisms, and current treatment approaches.

Summary:

  • Binge eating disorder involves recurrent binge eating episodes with a loss of control.
  • Neurobiological factors, including emotion regulation and reward processing, are implicated in BED etiology.
  • Psychotherapy is the primary treatment, though underutilized due to patient-experienced stigma.

Impact:

  • Accurate diagnosis of BED is vital for effective treatment selection and prognosis, particularly concerning comorbid obesity.
  • Motivational interviewing can aid in clarifying eating behaviors and identifying potential eating disorders.
  • Improved detection and treatment of BED can lead to better patient outcomes and reduced public health burden.
