Recurrent episodes of eating large amounts of food (often very quickly and to the point of discomfort), a feeling of loss of control during the binge, shame, distress, or guilt afterward, and not regularly using unhealthy compensatory measures (e.g., purging) to counter the binge eating characterize Binge Eating Disorder (BED), a severe, life-threatening, and treatable eating disorder. In the States, it is the most prevalent eating disorder. The DSM-5 includes BED as one of the newest recognized eating disorders. The most recent modification, made in 2013, removed BED's status as a subtype of EDNOS (now referred to as OSFED).
