Binge Eating Disorder
There are large differences between somebody who sometimes overeats and somebody with a binge eating disorder. People with binge eating disorder will often will feel completely out of control, eat excessive amounts when they are not hungry and even become in a ‘dazed’ state when in a binge. People with binge eating disorder will binge regularly. The binges will have also occurred consistently for more than three months. Individuals with binge eating disorder do not regularly use inappropriate compensatory methods such as purging, laxatives, diuretics or excessive exercise. Our team of friendly and caring professionals have extensive skills in managing binge eating disorders and can help achieve healthy positive behaviours through multidisciplinary interventions that take an holistic approach.

What causes binge eating disorders is not clear, but it tends to be a type of coping mechanism for unwanted feelings of unhappiness, low self esteem and anxiety. As with most eating disorders, they are often associated with other mental health issues or factors such as:
Having these feelings may induce binge eating as a coping mechanism for the individual's emotions. If someone is showing signs of binge eating disorder, it's important they get help.

Binge eating disorder can be treated and cured, especially if it is caught and diagnosed early. As binge eating disorder is usually caused by unhappiness, depression or anxiety, psychological therapy is the most common and effective treatment. Our mental health nurse will assess the individual and review them weekly to ensure they are supported throughout the whole recovery journey. Our psychologist can help talk with the individual and identify the emotional and food related triggers for the binge eating behaviours and establish a more positive behaviour routine. Our dietitian will give the individual a nutritional assessment and help them achieve their goals.
