How an Eating Recovery Center Can Help With Binge Eating Disorder Recovery
When your doctor diagnoses you with binge-eating disorder (BED), you probably ask how to treat it first. Seeking binge eating disorder recovery treatment at an eating disorder center provides a comprehensive set of treatment options in one place, as the video mentions. Because BED includes a medical issue with how the brain and stomach communicate, treatment in a medical facility best addresses its effects.
With proper treatment, an individual diagnosed with BED can learn healthy eating habits and dine on a regular schedule.
Treatment of this disorder includes treating the mental health conditions that sometimes accompany it, such as depression. Doctors recommend undergoing psychotherapy with a psychiatrist who uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), integrative cognitive-affective therapy (ICAT), and dialectical behavior therapy.
Some doctors treat adult BED patients with medication, too. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) approved the use of the ADHD medication lisdexamfetamine dimesylate in cases of moderate to severe BED. Doctors may prescribe seizure medications and some antidepressants for some patients.
Undergoing treatment at an eating disorder facility can provide a regular dining schedule. The meals served at these facilities include foods with the right nutrition for your body. These scheduled meals and snacks help you establish a regular and healthy eating schedule that you can continue once you go home.
Treatment at an eating disorder facility that specializes in binge-eating disorder can help you address the medical problem associated with the disorder and the mental health issues that stem from it. It provides a regular schedule of meals and snacks to help you build healthy habits that you can take home with you. Doctors at the treatment center may prescribe medicine that helps regulate your body and/or brain functions.
