CUADRO, Eva  and  BAILE, José I.. Binge eating disorder: analysis and treatment. Rev. Mex. de trastor. aliment [online]. 2015, vol.6, n.2, pp.97-107. ISSN 2007-1523.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rmta.2015.10.001.

Binge eating disorder (BED), was formally recognized in the DSM-5 (APA, 2014) as an eating disorder, and considered the most common eating disorder among obese people, which embraces significant part of the whole population. Its dramatic raise above bulimia and anorexia nervosa, which are binge eating disorder alarming signals, made researchers in this field consider this health problem as extremely serious at the beginning of the XXI century.

This review takes the issue of conceptualization as well as the most effective psychological treatments into consideration having in mind that the cognitive-behavioral approach seems to be the most complete and comprehensive choice which builds up the basis for adequate treatment.

The most serious difficulty to be highlighted in this review is the origin, development and maintenance of reluctance patients' within the emotional processing, which has been associated to binge eating disorder previously.
