The eating disorder that involves binge eating and purging is bulimia nervosa. People with bulimia often eat large amounts of food in a short period of time (binge) and then try to get rid of the food through vomiting, laxatives, or excessive exercise (purge).
Bulimia nervosa is the eating disorder that involves binge eating followed by purging through methods such as vomiting, fasting, or excessive exercise. This behavior is typically driven by a fear of gaining weight and is often accompanied by feelings of guilt and shame. Treatment for bulimia involves therapy, nutritional counseling, and support from healthcare professionals.
Both bulimia and anorexia are serious eating disorders with potentially life-threatening consequences. Anorexia involves severe restriction of food intake leading to dangerously low weight, while bulimia involves regular episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors like vomiting. Both disorders can lead to a range of physical and psychological health issues, and the severity of each can vary among individuals.
A negative body image can lead to disordered eating behaviors such as restricting food intake, binge eating, or excessive exercise in an attempt to change one's body shape or size. This can contribute to the development of eating disorders like anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge eating disorder. It can also impact a person's relationship with food and their overall mental health.
Binge drinking can lead to various health complications and accidents that result in death. The exact number of people who have died from binge drinking is difficult to determine as it involves different factors and causes, such as alcohol poisoning, injuries, and long-term health effects. It is essential to address binge drinking as a serious public health concern to prevent further fatalities.
There are more than 200 classified forms of mental disorders, but the most common include anxiety disorders, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, eating disorders, and substance-related disorders. Each disorder has its own set of symptoms and criteria for diagnosis.

Bingeing and Purging are part of the cycle of Bulimia, a common 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 and bulimia nervosa are both associated with periods of excessive eating/compulsive overeating. The difference comes in withcompensatorybehaviour.Bulimics compensate for their binging by either purging (inducing vomiting, using laxatives ordiureticsor enemas) or by fasting (not eating) or by exercising excessively. Thus, bulimics are generally not overweight.People with binge-eating disorder do not compensate for their excessive eating by purging, fasting or exercise. For this reason, people with binge-eating disorder are almost always overweight.

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.
This eating disorder is called anorexia.
