  https://www.mdpi.com/2076-328X/13/3/234

  People with BED commonly experience comorbid mental-health problems. For instance, a systematic review found that BED is significantly associated with depression, and another study reported that anxiety is an important factor in the development and maintenance of binge eating. Moreover, a recent study in the United States found that BED was associated with lifetime mood disorders and anxiety disorders. In addition to mood and anxiety disorders, psychological stress also has a relationship with the desire to binge eat in people with BED. For instance, psychological stress can lead to a greater desire to binge eat in people with BED compared to those without BED. Lastly, BED can also be associated with poor mental-health-related quality of life (HRQoL). For example, a study in Brazil found reduced mental HRQoL in people with BED compared to people without BED. In line with this, another study found that people with obesity and comorbid BED experience poorer mental HRQoL in comparison to people with obesity but without BED, or people without obesity and without BED. Moreover, mental HRQoL can be particularly poorer in women with BED compared to men with BED. Taken together, the aforementioned studies showed significant relationships between BED and poor mental health (i.e., depression, anxiety, psychological stress, and reduced mental HRQoL).

  https://www.mdpi.com/2076-328X/13/3/234

  In addition to poor mental health, people with eating disorders can experience difficulties with emotion regulation. Effective emotion regulation is the awareness, understanding, and acceptance of emotions, modulation of emotional arousal, and the ability to act in desired ways regardless of emotional state. Emotional regulation is important for mental health, and ineffective emotion regulation can be an important factor in the maintenance of eating-disorder behaviors. It is noteworthy that people with eating disorders report overall poorer emotion regulation in comparison to people without eating disorders, and that poor emotional awareness and clarity has been found in people with eating disorders. Studies with samples of people with BED found similar results. For instance, limited access to emotion-regulation strategies were associated with BED in people with obesity who were candidates for bariatric surgery. Moreover, women with BED can experience greater emotion-regulation difficulties, namely nonacceptance of emotional responses, lack of emotional clarity, difficulties engaging in goal-directed behavior, impulse-control difficulties, and limited access to emotion-regulation strategies in comparison to women without BED. Women with BED may also use more maladaptive emotion-regulation strategies (i.e., rumination, self-blame), and use less adaptive emotion-regulation strategies (i.e., positive refocusing, putting into perspective), in comparison to women without BED.

  Our study investigated relationships between eating-disorder symptoms, difficulties with emotion regulation, general mental health, and mental HRQoL in adults with BED. Overall, we found that eating-disorder behaviors and psychopathology were associated with poorer mental health in participants included in our study. For instance, we found that: (1) objective binge eating had a direct association with anxiety; (2) subjective binge eating had a direct association with psychological stress; (3) loss of control over eating had a direct association with anxiety and depression; and (4) eating-disorder psychopathology had a direct association with mental HRQoL. Moreover, we found that eating-disorder psychopathology and loss of control over eating had a direct association with less effective emotion regulation. Lastly, we found that depression and psychological stress had a direct association with mental HRQoL, and psychological stress had a direct association with less effective emotion regulation. […] Our findings show that depression, stress, difficulties with emotion regulation, and eating-disorder psychopathology were related in important ways to mental-health complications in people with binge eating disorder.
