Adherence
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the current treatment of choice for Binge Eating Disorder and is effective in reducing binge frequency and achieving remission, though it may not significantly reduce weight.
If you have Binge Eating Disorder, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the most effective treatment available. It typically involves weekly sessions for 12-16 weeks and helps you identify triggers and change thought patterns. While it may not lead to significant weight loss, it is highly effective at stopping binge episodes and achieving remission. If traditional CBT is not accessible, ask about guided self-help options.
CBT is the current treatment of choice for BED given its extensive evaluation and strong empirical support... With CBT, 68–90% of participants will have a reduction in the number of binge eating episodes, and more than 50% of participants generally achieve total remission
Why this rating
Described as having 'extensive evaluation and strong empirical support' with high remission rates in multiple studies.
