What is Binge Eating
Disorder?
Although binge eating disorder, also called BED, is the most recently recognized eating disorder, it’s the most prevalent eating disorder in the United States,affecting up to 5% of men, women and teenagers. Overeating habits can create many uncomfortable and dangerous physical symptoms over time. BED also creates many distressing mental symptoms that must also be addressed during binge eating disorder treatment. By getting to the root of the problem, BED treatment can often be highly successful, especially when treatment management is long-term.
Binge Eating
Signs & Symptoms
Because of the large quantities of food typically eaten, many clients seeking binge eating disorder treatment have above-normal weights, although some remain at normal weights due to their constant dieting. One of the best ways to recognize when a loved one needs binge eating disorder treatment is to know the most common signs and symptoms of this eating disorder. Many individuals recognize these symptoms in themselves, but may feel too much shame to seek treatment. Therefore, it is often up to family and friends to encourage those experiencing it to seek binge eating disorder treatment.
Many behavioral signs and symptoms of binge eating are quite easy for people close to the individual to see. For example, common signs of binge eating often include:
- Frequently eating very large amounts of food in short periods
- Eating until the individual is overwhelmingly full
- Eating in secret
- Eating constantly rather than at regular mealtimes
- Trying to hide food
- Constantly being on a diet without making any progress
Our Commitment to You
After completing 75 consecutive days of treatment at Eating Disorder Solutions, if you experience a significant
setback you can receive an additional 75 consecutive days of treatment at no cost.
Health Risks of Binge
Eating Disorder

- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Gastrointestinal distress
- High cholesterol
- High blood pressure
- Gallbladder disease
- Sleep apnea
- Menstrual cycle issues
- Decreased mobility
- Electrolyte imbalances
- Certain cancers
Causes of Binge Eating
Like many eating disorders, the causes of binge eating disorder can be difficult to pin down because of the many factors that affect clients diagnosed with it. Many individuals will have several factors that greatly increase their risk of developing the disorder. In order for binge eating disorder treatment to be effective, all of these factors must be successfully addressed.
A number of underlying physical and mental factors are usually associated with BED. These may include genetics, a family history of eating disorders, past and present psychological struggles, social influences and relational turmoil, among others. In particular, research has shown major evidence that binge eating disorder is often inherited from parents. Therefore, the genetic link often shows up in a strong family history of eating disorders. Another major factor is underlying mental disorders. Many people receiving binge eating disorder treatment are living with concurrent mental illness diagnoses, such as substance abuse, depression or anxiety. Contact us to learn more about our integrated approach to treating eating disorders and other mental health conditions.
Binge Eating Disorder
Diagnosis
According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, multiple criteria must be met for an individual to be diagnosed with binge eating disorder.
A psychiatrist or psychologist will make the official diagnosis using the DSM-5. However, a medical practitioner will also run several diagnostic health tests to determine whether any underlying health conditions also exist. For example, a doctor will complete a physical assessment and will run several blood and urine tests to check for electrolyte imbalances, protein in the urine and similar concerns. The practitioner will also take special note of blood pressure readings and cholesterol levels, which could indicate a heart condition. In addition, a client may be referred for a sleep center evaluation to check for sleep apnea, particularly if overweight. Once underlying conditions are identified and the DSM-5 evaluation is completed, the health care team at Eating Disorder Solutions will be able to craft an individualized binge eating treatment plan.
- 1 Regular times of binge eating, defined as eating large amounts of food in a two-hour period and as a lack of control while eating
- 2 Binge eating periods during which the individual feels uncomfortably full, eats when not feeling hungry, eats despite embarrassment over the amount of food and feels guilty or depressed after eating
- 3 A feeling of deep unhappiness over binge eating
- 4 Binge eating episodes that occur at least once per week for a minimum of three months

Binge Eating Disorder Treatment Options
To reach full recovery and regain independence, clients living with BED undergo several key treatments, which will be individualized for their needs. Some of the most common binge eating disorder treatments practiced at Eating Disorder Solutions include the following:
Cognitive-Behavioral
Therapy
This highly individualized therapy is done one-on-one with a psychiatrist who can help clients explore their emotions and learn how they affect eating behaviors. During this type of therapy, individuals can learn how to change their negative thinking patterns so that they can avoid triggers to binge eating.
Psychotherapy
Another type of in-depth group or individual therapy that helps clients discover the root problems or emotions leading them to binge eat. These therapy sessions can also give clients options for eating healthfully and mindfully during stressful times as well as coping mechanisms that can help them make healthier dietary choices.
Group Therapy
Group therapy provides clients with a strong and lasting support network. Through our loving, family-like atmosphere, our group therapy helps individuals explore their own feelings as they learn from others who are struggling with the same disorders. We provide a safe and supportive place where clients feel open and honest with each other.
Family Therapy
Family therapy is a critical part of binge eating disorder treatment and helps to build strong support networks that will be in place once the client completes the residential binge eating treatment program.
