Binge Eating Disorder Support and Treatment in Manchester
Taking the first step, starting your recovery journey
Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is an eating disorder in which people feel compelled to binge eat on a regular basis. Bingeing refers to the consumption of a large number of calories over a relatively short period of time, during which people experience a sense of loss of control.
For individuals with binge eating disorder (BED), binges are often triggered by emotional or psychological factors, though these triggers may not always be apparent. As a result, binges can occur even when the person is not hungry.
At the London Centre, we believe effective treatment for BED needs to target both the physiological and the emotional triggers for bingeing. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is known to be the most effective treatment for binge eating disorder and as such is commonly recommended by our clinicians. For people who binge eat as a way of managing difficult emotions, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) may be recommended as an alternative.
We understand that taking the first step to seek help can feel daunting. We’re here to support you and make the process a bit easier by letting you know what to expect.
