    title = "Examining the Association Between Binge Eating Behaviors and Depression Symptoms, and Utilizing Symptoms as Predictor Variables",
    abstract = "This paper explores the correlation between binge eating behaviors and depression symptoms in
adolescents. Understanding this relationship is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment of these
prevalent mental health conditions. The study involved 100 adolescents aged 13-19 years, utilizing
standardized scales to measure binge eating behaviors and depression symptoms. Results showed a
positive linear correlation (R = ~0.52) between binge eating behaviors and depression symptoms. Specific
questions related to "boredom and eating habits" and "guilt after overeating" were significant predictors of
depression symptom severity. Similarly, the depression symptom "feeling hopeless about the future"
significantly predicted binge eating behavior severity. Consideration of comorbid mental health conditions
is important for assessing and treating eating disorders. However, limitations included convenience
sampling, lack of diversity, small sample size, and potential response bias. Future research should
investigate causal relationships, underlying factors in binge eating disorder, and additional predictors for a
comprehensive understanding of mood and eating disorders.",
