Answer:

Excessive weight gain that results in diabetes and high blood pressure.

Explanation:

Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is a serious, life-threatening disorder which may lead to several metabolic diseases and complications like diabetes mellitus and hypertension. This should be immediately addressed by a psychiatrist in order to give intervention earlier to avoid development of chronic diseases.

According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - 5 (DSM-5) criteria for BED, it should have the following signs and symptoms

1. Recurrent binge eating episodes should be both characterized by the following,

"Eating, in a discrete period of time (e.g., within any 2-hour period), an amount of food that is definitely larger than what most people would eat in a similar period of time under similar circumstances," and

"A sense of lack of control over eating during the episode (e.g., a feeling that one cannot stop eating or control what or how much one is eating)."

2. It is then associated with any 3 of the following

"Eating much more rapidly than normal. "

"Eating until feeling uncomfortably full. "

"Eating large amounts of food when not feeling physically hungry. "

"Eating alone because of feeling embarrassed by how much one is eating. "

"Feeling disgusted with oneself, depressed, or very guilty afterward."

3. Marked distress regarding binge eating is present.

4. The binge eating occurs, on average, at least once a week for 3 months.

5. The binge eating is not associated with the recurrent use of inappropriate compensatory behaviors (e.g., purging) as in bulimia nervosa and does not occur exclusively during the course of bulimia nervosa or anorexia nervosa.

4. Which root word means "red"? A. ERYTHR/O B. LEUK/O C. THYM/O D. BLAST/O
iVinArrow [24]
The root word which means "red" is a. erythr/o.
Just think about biology - you should know that red blood cells are called erythrocytes, where you can obviously see that root word. 
Leuk/o refers to white color, and the other two options do not refer to colors at all.
