Binge eating disorder is a severe mental health disorder that is characterized by recurring binging episodes. During a binge, people consume large amounts of food over a short period — even if they aren’t physically hungry. Individuals with a binge eating disorder diagnosis may also experience feelings of shame, guilt and low self-esteem after a binge eating episode. But unlike other eating disorders, these binges are not followed by compensatory behaviors like fasting or self-induced vomiting.
The toll that binge eating disorder can take on one’s physical and mental health makes early intervention essential for long-term recovery. At Oliver-Pyatt centers, we’re proud to provide the highest level of psychiatric and medical care available for those seeking residential binge eating disorder treatment in Miami. With many years of combined experience, our friendly staff can help you find the tools you need to begin the recovery process.

Navigating the Symptoms of Binge eating Disorder
Did you know that binge eating disorder is the most common eating disorder affecting Americans today? Before people search for the best Miami binge eating disorder treatment center to fit your needs, it’s crucial that loved ones learn more about the condition to help set realistic expectations for continued medical and psychiatric care.
Common Signs and Symptoms of Binge Eating Disorder
Those with binge eating disorder often hide or hoard food away. The family may notice unexplained food wrappers appearing around the house and empty food containers in unusual places. It’s also common for those with the condition to develop peculiar food rituals like cutting out certain foods and not allowing food to touch.
A lack of self-control and the urge to eat in secret can prevent people with binge eating disorder from eating around others. As their condition worsens, they may avoid social situations where food is present and withdraw from social commitments.
Fluctuations in weight are also ubiquitous for those with binge eating disorder. Individuals with this type of eating disorder often use fad dieting to gain control over their eating habits. However, this cycle typically intensifies feelings of low self-esteem and negative body image.
Long-Term Health Risks of Binge Eating Disorder
When people binge, they often eat foods that are high in sugars and fat but low in protein and fiber. Over time, this process can lead to the development of type 2 diabetes. And while this condition can be medically managed, type 2 diabetes is associated with many long-term health consequences.
Obesity is also prevalent for people with binge eating disorder. Because they avoid both positive and negative compensatory behaviors following a binge eating episode, it can be difficult for those with the condition to maintain a body weight that is deemed medically appropriate for their age, height and stature.
In addition to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, obesity and binge eating disorder have also been linked to other serious health issues like heart disease, high blood pressure, arthritis, sleep apnea, and certain cancers.
