“…The reasons for BED are complex ( Fairburn et al., 2003 ) and its development is characterised by background conditions, triggering circumstances, and maintaining factors ( Buhl, 2002 ; Reijonen et al., 2003 ). BED and binge eating episodes are associated with powerful negative feelings ( Citrome, 2017 ; Dingemans et al., 2009 ; Duarte et al., 2016 ; Fox et al., 2016 ; Nicholls et al., 2016 ) such as disgust, depression, and guilt ( American Psychiatric Association, 2013 ). Difficulties in emotional regulation ( Kukk & Akkermann, 2017 ) and an association with severe mental health problems such as depression and risk of suicidal ideation ( Baek et al., 2018 ; Brown et al., 2018 ; Smith et al., 2017 ; Ural et al., 2017 ) are common.…”
