Question

Explanation:

• For the option "It is unrelated to mental health": Binge eating disorder is a mental health condition, so this is false.
• For the option "It involves overeating without purging": Binge eating disorder is characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating (overeating) without the compensatory behaviors like purging that are seen in other eating disorders (e.g., bulimia nervosa), so this is true.
• For the option "It only affects adults": Binge eating disorder can affect adolescents as well, not just adults, so this is false.
• For the option "People with this disorder always appear underweight": People with binge eating disorder often have higher body weights (may be overweight or obese) rather than always being underweight, so this is false.

Answer:

It involves overeating without purging.
