Why Binge Eating?
There is no one underlying cause for bingeing and its subsequent eating disorders, binge-eating disorder and bulimia nervosa. The APA does state that those prone to bingeing also tend to have impulsive personalities, which would fit in with the loss of control over eating. Like most disordered eating, bingeing is associated with low self-esteem and depression, meaning that studies have consistently reported subjects with eating disorders display similar symptoms of depression. Therefore, bingeing is often associated with feelings of helplessness, poor body image and inadequacy.
