Q. How common is this eating disorder? Do you think it is good that it is now included as an official eating disorder diagnosis?
A. Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is when someone:
Binge eats (eats an objectively excessive amount of food) twice a week or more (in other words, it has become a regular occurrence)
Has been behaving in this way for a period of three months or more (so it has become a sustained problem)
Experiences a feeling of loss of control during the binges. Some many people describe going into a feeling of trance when they binge eat. Or even though they know they should stop, they just cant seem to until they have reached a point of being really uncomfortable, or even in pain, or they have simply used up all their food.
Often feels self disgust and shame about the problem.
It is often bound up with emotional and other problems, and can make a sufferers life a misery.

(Marie - If someone vomits as well then they are suffering from Bulimia)
BED is a LOT more complicated than just regularly eating too much, and hopefully having it recognised in the psychiatric diagnostic manual DSMV will mean that people who suffer from this dreadful problem can get the proper psychiatric / psychological help needed for recovery.

What are the chances of me getting borderline personality disorder?
Q. I'm 15 & I was reading about this, because everyone in my family has it, and it mentioned the causes of this are traumatic childhood events such as seperation fromn parents, emotional/physical/sexual abuse and I've gone through all that, Lived in foster homes, was molested and beat. Does this mean I will have it? I dont have to, right? My mom says I am already showing signs of BPD and that kind of freaks me out. I have intense mood swings that are triggered very easy, abandonment issues, i used to cut, I have binge eating disorder, Impulsive acts, Substance abuse issues, and sometimes Im very promiscuous but I think that has to do with being raped when I was in foster care, like it was a switch turned on way too early. I have bad anxiety, and I have depression and usually when I am I lose touch with reality and space out. I'm worried I will be the same as my mom.

A. You sound like a borderline. Sorry.
I was diagnosed at 17. You can be diagnosed, its just that most doctors or psychs are too uptight to do it.

Good intro for a paper about eating disorders?
Q. Eating disorders are serious conditions with which you are so worried with food and weight that you canât focus on anything else. The main types of eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge-eating disorder. Eating disorders can cause serious physical problems, and the most severe can be life-threatening. Most people with eating disorders are girls, but guys can also have eating disorders. An exception is binge-eating disorder, which affects almost as many guys as girls. The signs and symptoms of eating disorders are different depending on the type of eating disorder. Treatments for eating disorders usually involve psychotherapy, nutrition education, family counseling, medications and hospitalization.
A. Pretty good. I think you should come up with something else for your first sentence. You need something that is interesting (maybe a fact or something) and will grab your reader's attention. You should also try to use "eating disorders" a little less and try to make your sentences flow into each other a little more, they are kind of choppy.
