So far I have learned a lot about my research topic and how it affects a variety of people. Binge eating disorder effects a variety of individuals from obese to non-obese individuals. It also effects people who have a overvaluation of the eating disorder. This means that they put high value into having a particular body image and therefore puts a major amount of stress on that person. In the two empirical articles I chose they looked at both groups and came up with some pretty significant evidence of the development of binge eating disorder. Both articles suggest that some of the signs and symptoms are that of having an overvaluation of body image, depression, stress, bad coping skills, or possibly just pure habitual in nature. From these observations and studies that were both conducted it shows that the eating disorder can very well be in a variety of individuals, but can also be treated with proper guidance, support, and therapy.
