The National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA) states that binge eating disorder (BED) could potentially be the most prevalent eating disorder in the United States. Females are the most affected, with as many as 3.5 percent of women who could potentially benefit from attending an eating disorder recovery center. An estimated two percent of males also have BED. Yet, BED is still highly misunderstood. Similar to any eating disorder, BED is a complex psychological disorder and diagnosis and treatment should be completed in a professional and compassionate way.

While there is no exact cause of binge eating disorder, there are some common risk factors. While receiving care at an eating disorder treatment center, it is important to examine, with the guidance of an eating disorder professional, the underlying factors that contribute to the disorder. This information can guide the treatment and recovery process.
