Binge eating disorder (BED) affects thousands of people in the UK – a crippling psychological condition. PROMIS is proud to deliver effective binge eating disorder treatment in the UK; here, we have detailed our services for those who require help for this debilitating condition. 

What is a Binge Eating Disorder?

Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is a common eating disorder characterised by episodes of binge eating where individuals overeat in a short period of time. Unlike other eating disorders, BED doesn’t typically involve regular use of purging behaviours such as vomiting or excessive exercise – these are more commonly associated with anorexia and bulimia. It’s marked by feelings of loss of control during these eating episodes, leading to consuming large amounts of food even when not hungry.

BED’s impact is both psychological and physical. Psychologically, it often coexists with feelings of shame, guilt, and distress. Physically, it can lead to various health issues due to irregular eating habits. Recognising and understanding BED involves comprehending these multifaceted aspects, as it’s not just about eating large amounts but also about the emotional and psychological patterns that accompany these episodes.
