There is substantial evidence that supports the efficacy of individual and group CBT in treating binge eating disorder (“Part A,” 2006). The CBT approach for binge eating disorder is active and directive. At the cognitive level individuals in CBT are taught to identify, test, and correct their faulty cognitions. Behavioral strategies in CBT for binge eating include monitoring binge patterns, educating the individual, and introducing incompatible activities (Parrott, 1998). One study assessed the long-term efficacy of CBT in the treatment of binge eating disorder. They assessed a sample of 68 patients with binge eating disorder and a substantial reduction of binge eating was observed during treatment. There was a decline at the three-year follow-up and at the four, five, and six-year follow up there was a slight worsening of binge eating was observed in the individuals (Ricca, Mannucci, Zucchi, Rotella, & Faravelli, 2000). Other psychosocial therapies that show efficacy in the treatment for binge eating disorder are interpersonal therapy (IPT) and dialectical behavior therapy. There is evidence that both of these therapies are effective in the improvement of behavioral and psychological symptom (“Part A,” 2006). There is substantial evidence that self-help and guided self-help CBT programs for treating binge eating disorder are effective (“Part A,” 2006). Peterson, Mitchell, Crow, Crosby, and Wonderlich (2009) compared three treatment groups, self-help, therapist-led, and therapist assisted, to determine the efficacy of self-help group treatment. Two hundred and fifty nine adults with binge eating disorder were randomly assigned to one of the three groups or a waiting list condition for 20 weeks. Participants were as... ... middle of paper ... ...cebo and fluvoxamine) in the rate of decrease in Hamilton depression scale scores. Fluvoxamine medication was effective in acute treatment of binge-eating disorder (Hudson, McElroy, Raymond, & Crow, 1998). It can be interpreted from these findings that medications such as fluvoxamine is helpful in treating binge-eating disorder. Another form of treatment is a combination of psychosocial therapy and drug therapy. There is evidence that by adding CBT to drug treatment there is an increase in efficacy. Combining CBT and antidepressant treatment for binge eating does not seem to be more effective than CBT alone (Ricca et al., 2000). Significant effect on binge suppression was not found when antidepressants were added to CBT (“Part A,” 2006). This approach can he applied to Ricky’s therapy. If CBT is not working alone then would introduce drug therapy as well.
Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder with psychological, physiological, developmental, and cultural components. The disorder is commonly characterized by binge eating followed by inappropriate compensatory behaviors, such as self-induced vomiting, excessive exercise, fasting, and the misuse of diuretics, laxatives or enemas. Patients properly diagnosed with bulimia nervosa endure many psychological and physiological problems. In order to alleviate these problems for the patient, usually some type of intervention is required. Considering the financial costs to the patient who seeks treatment, it is important to identify effective and efficient treatment programs. Due to the wide variety of individual patient differences, it would be unwise to proclaim one treatment method as the universal cure for bulimia nervosa. However, identifying what methods work under particular conditions may help therapists tailor an individualized treatment program after a careful assessment of the client. Having this knowledge would potentially save both the client and the therapist a lot of time and frustration; not to mention, the patient would be on the path to recovery sooner. Kaye et al (1999) stress the importance of making progress towards the understanding and treatment of anorexia and bulimia nervosa, in order to generate more specific and effective psychotherapies and pharmacologic interventions.
There is now compelling evidence from double-blind, placebo-controlled studies that antidepressant medication is useful in the treatment of bulimia nervosa. What is less clear is which patients are most likely to benefit from antidepressant medications and how to best sequence the various therapeutic interventions available. The utility of antidepressant medications in bulimia nervosa has led to their evaluation in binge eating disorder. The limited information currently available suggests that antidepressant treatment may be associated with a reduction in binge frequency in obese patients with binge eating disorder, but does not lead to weight reduction.
Binge Eating Disorder also known as Compulsive Eating Disorder, is a disorder in which a person uses food to deal with their stress and other negative emotions. A person affected from Binge Eating Disorder will secretly and compulsively overeat large amounts of food even if they were not hungry at all. During a Bingeing Episode, it could last several hours or all day, and can be reoccurring several times in one week. Often the foods that are consumed are “comfort foods” such as cookies, chips, candy, etc. Aside from the disorder there are its symptoms, who is affected, age of onset, causes, potential treatment methodology, and several resources for help.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a comprehensive cognitive-behavioral treatment developed by Marsha M. Linehan for the treatment of complex, difficult-to-treat mental disorders. Originally, DBT was developed to treat individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD; Carson-Wong, Rizvi, & Steffel, 2013; Scheel, 2000). However, DBT has evolved into a treatment for multi-disordered individuals with BPD. In addition, DBT has been adapted for the treatment of other behavioral disorders involving emotional dysregulation, for example, substance abuse, binge eating, and for settings, such as inpatient and partial hospitalization. Dimeff and Linehan (2001) described five functions involved in comprehensive DBT treatment. The first function DBT serves is enhancing behavioral capabilities. Secondly, it improves motivation to change by modifying inhibitions and reinforcement. Third, it assures that new capabilities can be generalize to the natural environment. Fourth, DBT structures the treatment environment in the ways essential to support client and therapist capabilities. Finally, DBT enhances therapist capabilities and motivation to treat clients effectively. In standard DBT, these functions are divided into modes for treatment (Dimeff & Linehan, Dialectical behavior therapy in a nutshell, 2001).
The research question and goal of this study was to determine how well cognitive-behavioral therapy can affect adolescents with binge-eating disorder in the way the same treatment affects adults. Before creating the design to answer this three hypotheses were purposed for the study. The first two hypotheses states that cognitive behavioral therapy would have greater benefits than the waiting-list in reducing the number of binge eating episodes and reducing the number of days with a binge eating episode. From these hypotheses they also concluded that with cognitive behavioral therapy there will be a decrease in depressive symptoms which will lead to an increase in self-esteem and quality of life. And, that a decrease in binge eating episodes will also lead to stabilizing adolescents body mass index. It is fair to assume or hypothesize that with a decrease in binge eating episodes that ...
There may be murmurs about that girl who only fixes herself a salad with only vinegar at dining services or suspicious glances at someone who spends 45 minutes on the treadmill and then switches to the stair stepper at the rec. On-campus eating disorders are talked about everywhere and yet are not really talked about at all. There is observation, concern, and gossip, but hushed conversation and larger scale efforts to help and change never seem to earn public attention.

To make if effective one must take these self-care steps to support their professional treatment plan. One step is to avoid dieting because as previously mentioned; dieting can induce more binge eating episodes. Have a talk with your doctor about what would be an appropriate weight management strategy. Another thing to avoid is stocking up on food. By keeping less food in your home, you must take more trips to the grocery store and the temptation/ability to binge eat is nearly gone. The next thing is to eat a healthy breakfast every day. Many with BED skip breakfast, but if you eat breakfast then you might be less prone to eating those higher calorie meals later in the day. For binge eating disorder to be cured, you must get active. Your doctor can provide what kind of physical activity is the most appropriate for you, considering what health problems you have that are related to binge eating disorder. You also must get the right nutrients, just because you eat a lot in a binge eating episode, doesn’t mean that you are getting the proper nutrients. Talks to your doctor about what vitamin and mineral supplements are right for you. Staying connected is an important factor too; don’t isolate yourself your family members and friends who want to see you get healthy. They care about you, and have your best interests at heart. Sticking to your treatment is key. Don’t skip therapy sessions, take your vitamins/medication on an irregular basis, and stick to your meal plan to get the best results (Binge Eating
While FBT emphasizes a manual based, group, behavioral approach CBT focuses on an individual approach to treating anorexia nervosa focusing on maladaptive cognitions and behaviors (Wilson et al., 2007; Grave et al., 2014). CBT aims to produce change in adolescents by modifying their thought mechanisms that maintain their anorexia nervosa pathology (Grave et al., 2014). CBT is a form of intensive psychotherapy in which therapists are concerned with the adolescent’s overall functioning, not just eating and weight. According to Grave et al. (2014), CBT therapists help clients adjust to their rapid weight gain and better deal with the negative events and emotions that effect healthy eating patterns. Therapists enhance adolescent’s motivation to
As is common with other eating disorders, binge eating can be treated with talking therapy and nutritional counselling. Talking therapy addresses dysfunctional behaviours and thoughts involved in the disorder, while nutritional counselling focuses on building strong healthy eating
It seems like every little girl dreams of becoming a model. They want to be thin and pretty like the models they see on television and in magazines. Often the desire becomes an obsession and young girls see "thinness" as being a needed characteristic. For many girls, the teenage years are spent trying to acquire this look. Females are trying diets and are exercising like it is a competition to see who can lose the most weight the quickest. The obsession of many young girls over their appearance or weight has led to a growing number of people who have developed an eating disorder to try to deal with their lack of self-esteem or other related problems.
