Binge eating disorder (BED) is often linked to other eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia. While these disorders differ in behavior—such as food restriction or purging—many individuals struggle with overlapping symptoms, such as body dissatisfaction, anxiety, and distorted thinking.  People with eating disorders very often suffer from depression, anxiety, or both.  These common underlying issues can complicate treatment and recovery, highlighting the importance of comprehensive, tailored care.

Recognizing the Connection Between BED and Other Eating Disorders

Symptoms that overlap across eating disorders include:

• Extreme concern with body weight and shape

• Emotional distress tied to food

• Disordered eating behaviors, such as bingeing or purging
