Binge eating disorder was recognized as an eating disorder and included in the DSM-5 as of May, 2015. However its inclusion was, and continues to be, heavily debated. There are two main viewpoints concerning the inclusion of binge eating disorder in the DSM-5: Binge eating disorder is a serious and distressing condition, separate and unique from any existing disorder. Its inclusion in the DSM-5 will allow for those who suffer from it to seek and access treatment by providing insurance coverage. The inclusion of binge eating disorder in the DSM over-pathologizes normative eating behaviors and unfairly stigmatizes and pathologizes the obese. The symptoms of binge eating disorder could more accurately be viewed as the manifestation of symptoms of a different psychological issue, such as depression.
