New Topics About Binge Eating Disorder to be Discussed

Though not as commonly acknowledged or recognized as Anorexia or Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder is a disease that can leave the sufferer with equally devastating consequences.  Increasing differentiation and identification of this disorder is allowing for more efficient treatment options and greater recovery outcomes for individuals struggling with this.

During the upcoming Binge Eating Disorder Association Conference, health professionals from Oliver-Pyatt Centers will discuss facets of this pertinent issue, addressing topics such as Healing from the Shame/Trauma Binge Eating Cycle as well as Eating Disorder Treatment After Bariatric Surgery.  These relevant subjects are crucial for expanding the current knowledge of Binge Eating Disorder, for both health professionals and suffer alike.  For more information about these informative presentations, please continuing reading here.

Depression and Binge Eating Linked in Teen Girls

A recent study which has been published in the Journal of Adolescent Health has demonstrated the possible connection between depression and binge eating among teenage girls.  In this study, which took place over a duration of four-years, findings have shown that teen girls who are depressed are twice as likely to binge eat or overeat.  The implications of this study are significant in that they substantiate the idea that adolescents who may develop an eating disorder are dealing with feelings of depression-a reminder that eating disorders are about feelings, and not food.
