uhm
well thats a good question lol
binge eating disorder -> compulsive eating disorders
same thing?
yay? or nay?
Dont know whether this is still an active question Boink, but no they arent the same thing. Compulsive eating is, well compulsive eating, like obesity I guess if you have to link it back to your psych question. Binge-eating is engaged in by anorexic's trying to reform (they hate anorexic's because annies seem to have the control over their eating and body that bingers wish to have). They basically dont eat for aaaages, like an annie, but then will eat stacks when they're body is about to give up on them. And then they feel guilty and vomit it up (hence the binge). There are compulsive bingers in the world, but most die really quickly from bile poisoning and just fucking their bodies around so much, or they become annies... or reform and become 'normal'.
So yeah, this is my understanding (it would be nice to think I sorta know my shit seeing I went into psych wanting to be a clinical psych for such people, and so did a lot of research and reading on them. But dont take my word for gospel as I now want to practise family law rather than psych!)
... the end.
