Diagnosis information
Core diagnostic criteria, specifiers, differential considerations, and documentation support in one open, scan-friendly view.
All criteria are shown. No expand controls or hidden sections.
Core criterion A
Recurrent binge eating episodes associated with ≥3 of: eating faster; eating until uncomfortably full; eating large amounts when not physically hungry; eating alone due to embarrassment; feeling disgusted/depressed/guilty afterwards
Core criterion B
Marked distress regarding binge eating
Core criterion C
Binge eating occurs ≥1×/week for ≥3 months
Core criterion D
Not associated with recurrent use of inappropriate compensatory behaviours (unlike bulimia)
Consistent with [Binge-Eating Disorder] [specifier(s)]. Over at least three months, there have been recurrent episodes of binge eating; eating an objectively large amount of food in a discrete period; a subjective loss of control during these episodes, accompanied by eating much more rapidly than normal; eating until uncomfortably full; eating large amounts when not physically hungry; eating alone due to embarrassment; feeling disgusted, depressed, or guilty after overeating, occurring at least once per week. The presentation is further supported by marked distress regarding binge eating, consistent with a binge-eating pattern without compensatory behaviours. These symptoms have resulted in clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or physical functioning, and the presentation is not better explained by bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, or another medical or psychiatric condition.
