A bineg eating disorder is where a person continually "binge" eats. This means that they eat excessive, large amounts of food in a relatively short period of time. This food is usually not very healthy. As a result, there can be weight problems, health problems related to obesity, the likelyhood of developing bulimia (to purge after such bingeing), and depression.

Also, binge eating disorder is not currently a formal diagnosis, so it would be diagnosed as "eating disorder not otherwise specified."
