List the health issues involved with binge eating disorder and explain how the disorder perpetuates itself.

Answer:

Binge eating disorder can increase the risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. It can also cause emotional distress. The disorder may perpetuate itself in a cycle: stress or other difficult feelings can lead to binge eating, and guilt or shame afterward can cause more distress, which may trigger another binge.
