Binge-Eating in the psychology context refers to a serious eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of eating large quantities of food, often rapidly and to the point of discomfort. This behavior is typically accompanied by feelings of loss of control and is not followed by compensatory behaviors like purging, as seen in bulimia nervosa.
