ICD-11 code : 6B82;
Preferred Label : Binge eating disorder;
ICD-11 definition : Binge eating disorder is characterized by frequent, recurrent episodes of binge eating
(e.g., once a week or more over a period of several months). A binge eating episode
is a distinct period of time during which the individual experiences a subjective
loss of control over eating, eating notably more or differently than usual, and feels
unable to stop eating or limit the type or amount of food eaten. Binge eating is experienced
as very distressing, and is often accompanied by negative emotions such as guilt or
disgust. However, unlike in Bulimia Nervosa, binge eating episodes are not regularly
followed by inappropriate compensatory behaviours aimed at preventing weight gain
(e.g., self-induced vomiting, misuse of laxatives or enemas, strenuous exercise).;
