ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND AIM: SARS-CoV-2 The effect of social socialization due to education on stress in eating was investigated by DSM-5 Eating Stress-ScaleDSM. In our study, it was aimed to understand the secondary psychiatric disorders that may develop related to the nutritional behavior in the future and to develop preventive measures that can be taken. METHODS: In the study, 593 young adults between the ages of 18-65;DSM-V Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale (EDDS-DSMV) questions were translated into Turkish and posed. Only healthy volunteers in the specified age range, who did not have any metabolic, psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases and who had not undergone any surgical intervention in the last 3 months were included in the study. SPSS 21 statistical program was used to determine the data. RESULTS: According to the American Psychiatric Association DSM-V Diagnostic Scale for Eating Disorders, those who consumed unusually large meals (13 times or more in the last 3 months) did not induce vomiting, did not use laxatives or diuretics, did not prefer intermittent fasting, and did not prefer intense exercise to counteract the effects of eating. However, among the participants, those who ate large amounts of food despite not feeling physically hungry during the eating episodes reported feeling upset after these episodes. CONCLUSIONS: According to the DSM-V Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale (EDDS-DSMV) in our study, binge eating disorder was significantly more significant (p<0.001) compared to other diagnoses. The rate of those who feel overweight is 74.4%, the rate of those who think that they are perceived as overweight from the outside is 69.6%, the rate of those who are afraid of gaining weight and getting fat is 72.2%. It will be a meaningful initiative for public health to include healthy volunteers, who have not yet applied to the clinic, but are included in the diagnosis of binge eating disorder in scaling, with a psychobiochemical approach in which their psychological status can be followed up in primary health care services.
