Seek a specialist: Bed is usually triggered by emotional cues you may or may not be aware of. Binging is a way to unconsciously boost brain Dopamine and serotonin to regulate good feelings. Treatment should consist of an eating disorder therapist, likely a nutritionist, and possibly a psychiatrist. Some medications can be very effective at reducing episodes but an evaluation would be required.

Recovery is possible: BED is way of resolving a internal conflict through physical action. People think they are triggered by food but actually are triggered by emotions that lead to bingeing. They binge to numb, distract or comfort themselves. To stop, you must seek treatment to identify what's eating "at" you instead of focusing on what you're eating, and find new ways to respond to yourself. Recovery is possible
