YES!: Therapy is the key for treating binge eating disorder. Many people with binge eating disorder have other struggles (?Trauma, depression, etc) that need to be addressed in order to deal with the bed. Please seek out a therapist with some experience in this field and work closely with your doctor to manage any physical complications!

Psychoanalysis: For some suffering from overeating, yes, psychoanalysis is a powerfully effective tool in getting to the root of issues of control over one's body, which is often one of the main contributory factors of overeating. Food means different things to different people.
