Hello,

While food addiction is not described in the DSM V, binge eating is described as eating until uncomfortably full, eating large ammounts of food when not physically hungry, eating more rapidly than normal, eating alone due to embarassment over consumption, and/or feeling disgusted, depressed or guilty with oneself during or after an episode. There is also a carve out for Other Specified Eating and Feeding Disorder that might interest you. While these behaviors are not described as addictions, they often require professional intervention to meaningfully change. Describing them as addictions does not trivialize addiction, but rather indicates how uncontrollable and pathological they can be for some individuals.

Cheers!
