Even though binge eating disorder (BED) was not formally recognized as a psychiatric disorder until 2013, it is the most common eating disorder worldwide. BED is associated with numerous psychiatric and medical comorbidities, including severe obesity and obesity-related complications. BED remains underdiagnoses and undertreated in both mental health and primary care settings. Many psychiatric patients are reluctant to disclose their eating habits and they seek help for associated conditions. In the medical settings, the primary focus is on weight loss which can perpetuate BED. This presentation will empower the learners to confidently diagnose and treat BED in order to improve patient outcomes and lessen disease burden.

This activity is intended for physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, counselors and other mental health professionals.
Learning Objectives
