Binge eating disorder. Presented by Dr Kiera Buchanan, Clinical and Health Psychologist

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Binge eating disorder is a mental health disorder with diagnostic criteria outlined in the latest Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

Kiera advises that anyone presenting to you for weight loss or has concerns about their eating or their weight/shape should be screened for an eating disorder. Only one third of clients with eating disorders are asked about their eating behaviours/cognitions from their health professional.

The goals of treatment for binge eating disorder are:

Abstinence from binge eating
Reduce the over evaluation of shape and weight
Weight stabilisation and/or modest weight loss

Recovery from binge eating disorder is possible. Using CBT there is complete remission in around 50% of all clients. In her presentation Kiera outlined the practical strategies to use in CBT.
