Seeta Noah Sheds Light on Binge Eating Disorder


T


he National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) estimates that


approximately 30% of women who seek treatment to lose weight suffer from Binge Eating Disorder (BED), which is characterized by individuals consuming large amounts of food, eating until uncomfortably full. Oſten this is a way to cope with stress and avoid emotional pain or threatening situations (www. mayoclinic.com).


Te causes of BED are multifactorial and complex. Causes


may be due to mood disorders, personality disorders, alterations in neurotransmitter activity, and hormonal imbalances. Te risks with obesity include cardiovascular disease, diabetes, breathing difficulties and certain types of cancer. Have hope! Behavioral modification, lifestyle changes and


a strong support system can greatly improve your quality of life. Seeta M. Noah, MA, CHES welcomes your questions and is offering a Free 15-minute telephone consultation.
