Binge-Eating Disorder covers assessment, medical considerations, and evidence-based therapy for recurrent binge episodes without compensatory behaviors. This page turns evidence into action: functional analysis of triggers, CBT-E and IPT protocols, and weight-neutral, stigma-free care that prioritizes health and function. If you’re comparing an eating disorder conference, you’ll find practical steps for integrating nutrition counseling, sleep stabilization, and emotion-regulation skills while coordinating care for mood/anxiety and metabolic health. Because BED often co-occurs with ADHD and SUD, we link to CBT for Substance Use so teams can align craving management and stimulus control across conditions.

Sustained improvement depends on consistent practice and compassionate framing. We outline stimulus control, meal structure, and coping plans for high-risk windows; address night eating, shift work, and stress-related patterns; and review when pharmacotherapy (e.g., lisdexamfetamine) may be considered alongside therapy. Sleep and circadian alignment reduce evening vulnerability, while peer and digital supports extend skills between sessions. Equity matters: culturally responsive materials and access to affordable, non-stigmatizing nutrition care widen reach. Measurement-based care tracks frequency, distress, function, and quality of life to guide iterative adjustments.
