Binge Eating Disorder (BED), the most common eating disorder in the USA as recognized by the American Psychiatric Association, involves recurrent episodes of consuming large amounts of food quickly and often secretly, without subsequent purging behaviors seen in bulimia. These episodes typically occur weekly for at least three months.
BED often co-occurs with bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, PTSD, and substance abuse. A thorough evaluation is vital to identify and address any coexisting conditions.
At Waves of Hope, we understand the complexity of binge eating disorder and its impacts on both physical and mental health. We recognize that approximately 40% of individuals seeking weight loss treatment may have BED, underscoring the need for addressing underlying issues to break the binge eating cycle.
