Health Tip: Signs of Binge-Eating Disorder

(HealthDay News) -- Binge eating occurs when a person habitually overeats.

A person with the disorder often eats quite rapidly, may not stop eating when they are full, and usually feels unable to stop.

These actions often are a response to stress, anger or being emotionally upset, the Nemours Foundation says.

The foundation offers this list of common warning signs:

• Eating very quickly.
• Eating until extremely full or uncomfortable.
• Eating large amounts when not hungry.
• Being too embarrassed to eat around other people, or eating alone.
• Feeling guilty or disgusted after binge eating.
• Excessive weight gain.
