Can Depression Make You Binge Eat?

Depression isn’t just feeling down, or not as motivated as you used to, although those experiences can be part of it, it’s not the full picture. Major depressive disorder is characterized by 5 or more of the following symptoms, but you must have either a loss of interest or pleasure or a depressed mood. The other symptoms are changes in weight (appetite disturbance), sleep disturbance (sleeping a lot or not at all), psychomotor agitation or retardation (which really just means that we are either moving more or less than normal), fatigue or loss of energy nearly every day, feelings of worthlessness or excessive or inappropriate guilt nearly every day, difficulty concentrating or indecisiveness, and recurrent thoughts of death or recurrent suicidal ideation without a plan. And binge eating is characterized by eating (in a short amount of time like 2 hours) an amount of food that is definitely larger than what most people would eat in a similar period of time under similar circumstances. And there is a sense of lack of control over eating during the episode.
