Jonathan Van Ness, a TV host, author, and hairstylist, has recently been
open about his battles with food and weight on social media.
He said he had been diagnosed with binge-eating disorder, a condition
marked by episodes of excessive eating accompanied by feelings of
helplessness.
Between 0.6% and 2.3% of the global population suffers from binge-eating
disorder, making it the most prevalent eating disorder. Two to three times
as many people suffer from this condition as from anorexia nervosa,
according to some estimates, and the number of reported cases appears to be
growing.
