Binge Eating Disorder

Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is a serious mental health condition characterized by recurrent episodes of consuming large quantities of food in a short period, often accompanied by a sense of loss of control, distress, and without compensatory behaviors like purging. Unlike other eating disorders, BED can lead to significant physical and psychological consequences, including obesity, diabetes, depression, and anxiety. Treatment at specialized rehab centers typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, combining evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), along with nutritional counseling, medical monitoring, and, when appropriate, medication management.

Programs are tailored to individual needs and may include inpatient, outpatient, or virtual care options. The goal is to help individuals develop a healthier relationship with food, address underlying emotional issues, and achieve long-term recovery. Seeking professional help is crucial, as early intervention can significantly improve outcomes.
