How do you distinguish between a physical 0r mental cause for binging?

I've always binged. Probably ever since I was a child. I'd just get these random time periods (usually lasting 1-4 days) where I'll eat and never feel full.

These sound like mental issues, but I'm also a sufferer of bipolar 2 disorder. The binging usually happens during the high moods.

I've read that bipolar can speed up metabolism, so maybe my body is desperate for food to fuel a body on overdrive? If that were the case my binges would be a physical issue since my body is indicating it needs food for all the energy I'm burning.

I also lose the weight pretty quickly once my elevated mood goes back to normal
