Binge eating Help and Advice. Eating Disorder Treatment.
Binge eating disorder is an illness that affects millions of people and can have a devastating effect on the sufferer’s physical and emotional well-being. Sufferers of binge eating disorder often have a compulsive relationship with food and have periods of overeating or bingeing that are followed by feelings of guilt, shame and despair.
Binge eating disorder sufferers are desperate to know how to stop their compulsive eating, but often do not realise that they have an eating disorder and rarely seek treatment or therapy for their bingeing.
