In order for someone to be diagnosed with the disorder, certain criteria must be fulfilled and include 1) Eating much more faster than others 2) Eating until one feels extremely uncomfortable 3) Eating large amounts of food even though one does not have hunger 4) Eating alone because of feeling self-conscious by how much one is eating and 5) Feeling sickened with oneself, unhappy, or very guilty afterwards.
People who have binge eating may develop these episodes at least once a week for several months. Unlike bulimia, binge eating is not associated with use of laxatives or self-induced vomiting.
