Eating disorders
- Eating Disorders: Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating
Eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder and ARFID are serious, treatable psychiatric conditions. Outpatient treatment combines medical monitoring, specialized psychotherapy (CBT-E, family-based treatment for adolescents), nutritional support, and medication where evidence supports it: fluoxetine for bulimia and lisdexamfetamine for binge eating disorder. Early treatment significantly improves recovery. - Binge Eating Disorder
Binge eating disorder is recurrent episodes of eating large amounts of food with a sense of loss of control, at least weekly for three months, without purging. First-line treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy; lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse) is FDA-approved for moderate to severe cases, and SSRIs or topiramate are alternatives. Most people reduce binge frequency substantially within three to four months.
