Do you often feel you can't stop eating once you start, or eat far more than you meant to? This 8-question screen is the eating module of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ), developed by Robert L. Spitzer, Janet B.W. Williams and Kurt Kroenke. It asks about loss-of-control eating and about ways of trying to avoid weight gain over the past three months, then tells you whether your answers meet the PHQ's screening criteria for binge eating disorder or bulimia nervosa. It takes about two minutes.
