Binge eating can be caused by a combination of psychological, biological, and environmental factors. Some common causes include:

1. Psychological Factors:
   • Emotional distress, such as stress, anxiety, depression, or loneliness
   • Low self-esteem or negative body image
   • Feelings of guilt or shame related to eating habits
2. Biological Factors:
   • Imbalances in brain chemicals involved in hunger and satiety, such as serotonin
   • Genetic predispositions that affect eating behaviors
   • Hormonal imbalances affecting hunger regulation
3. Environmental Factors:
   • Exposure to highly palatable, high-calorie foods
   • Cultural or social pressures related to appearance and dieting
   • Certain life events or trauma
4. Behavioral Factors:
   • Restrictive dieting that leads to episodes of overeating
   • Learned habits and coping mechanisms

Binge eating disorder is a complex condition, often requiring professional treatment such as therapy, nutritional counseling, or medication. If you or someone you know is struggling with binge eating, consulting a healthcare professional is recommended.

Unlike weight loss jabs that are currently massive right now, therapy can help on a long term basis, rather than masking the issue and not getting to the root cause of the issue, therapy can help alleviate these struggles allowing you a happy healthy future you to grow.
