Yes. You need to see your doctor with information on Binge Eating Disorder as well as what to do about it.
Binge-eating disorder and compulisve-over-eating disorders are the newest "eating disorders" to be added to the medical lists.
An eating disorder with binge eating is bulimia nervosa.
It is called Binge Eating Disorder (BED).
Another name for binge eating disorder is "compulsive overeating." This condition is characterized by recurrent episodes of consuming large quantities of food, often accompanied by feelings of loss of control and distress. Unlike bulimia nervosa, individuals with binge eating disorder do not regularly engage in compensatory behaviors, such as purging.
Binge eating disorder may develop as a response to anxiety, depression, stress, or as the after effect of another eating disorder.

It seems as though you are referring to bulimia. However, bulimia is characterized by binge eating followed by purging (throwing up). Binge eating alone would probably just be considered food addiction.
Binge eating disorder.
Eating disorders, such as binge eating disorder, have the potential to do harm to your body. If you feel your eating disorder is out of control, it is appropriate to see a doctor, specifically a psychiatrist who specializes in the treatment of eating disorders. This is important because while binge eating disorder itself does not pose the risk of grievous harm to the body other than weight gain, it is often caused by the more serious problem of anxiety or depression. Also, binge eating disorder can quickly escalate to bulimia, which is very harmful to the body and can result in death. However, if you are not comfortable with seeing a medical professional for your binge eating disorder, there are some support groups both online and in community centers that can help you overcome your eating disorder. This is a viable option if you have strong motivation to end your eating disorder, if your eating disorder is not overly out of control, and you have the personal strength to better yourself.
