Binge Eating and ADHD: Understanding and Managing the Cycle
Binges most commonly occur later in the day — after work, in the evening, or at night — when structure and mental energy are at their lowest. They often follow periods of food restriction or “being good,” and are frequently triggered by stress, conflict, or intense negative emotions.
At home, the kitchen, bedroom, living room, and even the car are the most common settings, largely because food is readily available and privacy is respected. The foods involved tend to be highly palatable and easy to grab: chips, sweets, fast food, and baked goods.
