Binge-eating (sometimes
called food addiction or compulsive overeating) is on the rise in North
America, and is now only beginning to gain the attention of professionals from
the medical, academic and psychological communities. Recent studies have shown that binge-eating is more prevalent
among the North American population than anorexia and bulimia combined. Because binge-eating is not yet officially
seen as an eating disorder, calls have gone out for more research on the topic,
and the research community is responding.
This site is intended to provide online links to some of these studies
and findings.
The next edition of
the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5), to be published by the
American Psychiatric Association in 2013, plans to list binge-eating as an eating
disorder.
